> cloud-native version control

Just how "cloud-native" are we talking here? One chief selling point of git is that you are not reliant on a centralized server. You have remotes, yes, but if one of them goes down, you still get the entire project history.

I am of the opinion that the software world needs to find something better than git. One of my major pain points as a lead are the inevitable, yet unpredictable, git questions I will be getting from new juniors. But "cloud native" sounds like a poor starting point for "better git". Not needing external servers for VCS is one of the things git gets right.
