Consider that machines will likely evolve in such a timeframe, and we'll all 
have more powerful machines and faster connections.

For example, we could never have done today's Oxygen with 2004 pcs...
Or, a KDE/ checkout would have taken an immense part of the hard disk on an 
older computer. And there are loads of examples similar to these...

I don't think we'll ever become "unmanageable" because of git, (most) people 
will always keep some kind of common sense and avoid to dump 2GB of data into 
kdelibs, because we will know (and notice, so to fix it in case someone makes 
mistakes) it will just slow things down for everyone.
