I would blame Git at the moment. And no, there's no smiley to my remark.

Git may be more efficient from a CoreDev point of view but it also 
killed an essential part of CoreList spirit... Discussions and 
interactions. Even if in theory it was prohibited, the lack of "human 
factor" cut out the fun.

Do I got to http://git.typo3.org/TYPO3v4/Core.git every day as I use to 
read CoreList? No. And I feel i'm not alone (François wrote something in 
that spirit if I recall).

Let's be frank, Git is very effective but boring. It's mechanical, not 
organic. How are you going to bring new blood into Core with an 
efficient but cold system? I don't know either.

I'm not saying we should get back to SVN! I'm just trying to figure out 
why energy felt.
