I have no idea why the original comment by the author is shadow banned.

You're right, everything that the CMS does currently could also be done with raw Git messages. The CMS is designed to have pluggable backends. We had an early version working with Git directly. We decided to focus in one backend at a time rather than having several half integrated because the core features were evolving too fast to support several backends initially.
We plan on support raw Git in the future again. It's a matter of making sure it's useful for more people other than developers that already know how to use Git.
let us know if you need any help moving out docs, websites or any other web property from there, we'll be super happy to help. Projects like Kubernetes, Docker and React are already using our free offering for Open Source.
