I don't want to open a debate over this, as we would first need
to switch to git in order for me to make a possibly-compelling
argument in favor of getting rid of them. But the reason why I got
rid of them at AdaCore is that git log has become a much more
powerful way to perform searches (you can limit the output using
criteria such as dates, or author, for instance). In the meantime,
they stopped getting in the way, as they were are a constant source
of merge/cherry-pick conflicts.
