This is buried but in case anyone reads it, the real reason to open source BK is to show the world that SCM doesn't have to be as error prone or as complicated as Git. You need to understand how Git works to use it properly; BK is more like a car, you just get in and drive.
That metaphor... needs work. Cars need a considerable amount of training to learn to use safely, let alone correctly. I can hack C enough that I dream in it routinely, and due to the resulting brain damage found git intuitive from the start, but there is no way I'll ever learn to drive: it's just too hard.

Significantly less training than is required to know the internals of how it operates though.
