I half-expected 'very late' comments before I read the comments. I wasn't disappointed.
For those who commented that way, please reconsider this winner takes all approach to your outlook of the world. The world is better because of choice and it's in everybody's best interest to have more distributed version systems.
late does not mean it is useless.
The argument diversity is good is not so simple true, there are tones of benefits to diversity however there is cost to it too: fragmented finding talent, support, time to fix bugs, more eyes on the project, developer headaches in supporting competing standards so on...
