Unwise, maybe. Its just that waiting longer will cause more grief. The pain of 
*not* being on git is felt every day and postponing in hope that somebody will 
write a better way to handle many repos is just not a gamble that makes sense 
to me.
It looks like work on writing the rulesets has all but stopped[1], not sure if 
thats due to the reopening of this splitting issue. It would not surprise me. 
Bottom line is that these delays alone are in my personal opinion not worth 
the fringe benefits splitting may bring. C'est La Vie.
So I and many others in KOffice think that its time to move KOffice to git.
