Not necessarily ;-) but I'm not sure if the time is right for an independend services company doing _only_ git.

However, git is the kind of SCM that a big distro needs to keep track of all their "vendor branches" or "patches against upstream". Ubuntu pays at least one full-time SCM developer, Martin Pool, to maintain Bazaar NG and accesory tools.

IIRC MySQL was looking quite seriously to drop BK and with the savings in licenses, can surely affort to hire a GIT guru to "train the trainer", solve problems/bugs and write internal support tools. Others will follow. It shouldn't be too hard to find the right place.

Or a large FOSS services focused company (like Catalyst) that uses git and offers support as part of a larger bundle. (<spam>we're hiring, and putting git hackery in your cv is a winner</spam>). There are plenty of gaps and places for git hackers.
