Arguably, the most valuable outcome of a database system is the query result, which is of course contained in the result set of tuples contained in the response data. Arguably, the most valuable outcome of a version control system is the source code tree, which is of course contained in a filesystem directory. Arguably, the most valuable outcome of a programming language is the programs we write with it, which is of course contained in the compiled binary. By your reasoning, that means we should not care about handing the control over our database system, our version control system, or our programming language to a vendor-locked, proprietary, gratuitously centralised technology. I hope the analogy makes it clear why that's not an argument I think anyone would accept as sound. > I doubt that many people want to go back to see the arguments for a > certain merge I doubt many people want to go into the source code for my operating system and tell me exactly what it's doing, where my data is stored, how to get it from this operating system to a different one. My freedom to migrate from that system to a different one when I choose, is entirely dependent on *anyone* being able to do that, no matter how few people express an interest where you might see it. -- \ “There's no excuse to be bored.
