    2828   * Answer 5.4: Every single git work tree of Parrot is a backup of the entire source code history. Currently, if the svn repo on parrot.org were to be hit by a meteor, we would be in a bad way. Our code is safer in git.

    30 6. Objection: Upstream projects depend on getting Parrot from svn. 
     306. Objection: ~~Upstream projects depend on getting Parrot from svn.~~ (cotto) 
    3131   * Claim 6.1: Ensure that those projects are given sufficient advance notice of any VCS switch.  This includes HLLs and derivative projects such as mod_parrot.  A list of such projects should be maintained. 
    3232     * Counter-claim 6.1.1: According to Parrot policies, HLLs and other projects should not be dependent on the VCS but should restrict their work to released versions of Parrot.  Projects that choose to have a dependency on the master Parrot VCS do so at their own risk. 
     33     * This counterclaim is true.  HLLs officially shouldn't be depending on Parrot's VCS.  If they want to, they can figure something out or copy whatever Rakudo ends up doing. - cotto

    3435As an HLL author, I can't track parrot releases exclusively by release. However, even when I do, I do not track it via svn, but by requiring the user to get their own copy and install it (So my issue is #7, below) --coke
