> I also don’t mean to imply that everyone at Google is using jj, but the contingent feels significant to me, given how hard it is to introduce a new VCS inside a company of that size.

I don't mean to imply that Google is fickle, but anything besides Google's perforce fork is deprecated every few years. We used to have a proper git wrapper, then mercurial+extensions, now jj is supposed to replace the mercurial thing, all in 7-ish years?

The intention with this is to also deprecate the Perforce fork, in my understanding.

But yeah, it's been a lot. Frankly even harder to keep track of from the outside!
