Yes, we are missing out. On purpose. The funny part is all the people
who can't imagine why anyone would want to do it the way we do it. Yet
I suspect most usage of DVCSes is our model. Do you really think your
evangalism helps? We're quite aware of the possibilities: our team is
simply too small and too tightly integrated to do things the way you
suggest.
