> Fossil is a distributed version control and in fact it is "more" distributed than git if you consider that people tend to tie it with centralized services like GitHub to get more than just the VCS part.

The GitHub blurb makes no sense. Even if N developers standardize their workflow on using a couple of remote repos to exchange work, that does not make the underlying system less distributed/more centralized.

> A Fossil repository contains not only the versioned files, but also a wiki, tickets/bugtracker, forum, chat room, blog/technotes - even the theme is part of it.

That sounds like a major design faux pas. It makes zero sense to tie a chat room/blog/e-mail client/alarm clock to a source code repository.

I think you need to reconsider your senses if you can't see the tie between the two :-P. The "more distributed" part was exactly because of Fossil providing that additional functionality GitHub provides in a decentralized form.
