That's *the* topic of this thread.

Except that web-technologies are specified and not in constant
evolution. Freenet's inter-node protocol is not specified yet and that's
on purpose.

What's your problem exactly? I can always say that I don't *want* other
implementations; that won't prevent them from appearing... and I am
aware of that. 

The standard corporate response to that kind of concerns is to make
every new version of the official client incompatible with previous.

The original debate was about "why should we switch to git": I have just
explained why I don't receive the "makes branching/forking easier" as an
important point for now.

I'm fed up with people telling me what I have to do.

If you can't understand that we have only a limited amount of
resources and time, well... it's not even worth arguing.

For your information, "robust for anything and everything" doesn't exist.
