Instead of "grass roots", you might see it as a web forming, branching
out, eventually converging at one point.  A web of arch-connected kernel
developers (and users?), who by the time the web is "complete" have
refined and enhanced the system for some (possibly high) percentage of
Linus' needs.  Evolution's great.
By the time the infrastructure is in place Linus will have little to no
reason not to use arch, and the switching of non-free to free software
will be very obviously a good thing.

But (and I hope I'm off the ball on this one):

Are Linux developers using Bitkeeper allowed to help arch evolve, even
by only giving insight and ideas?  Or does the Bitkeeper license not
allow that?

I guess I just restated your point, and maybe gave a twist here and
there.

reference for this mail is therefor "how to go about bringing arch into
kernel development", and not "where do we want to go". ]
