I'd like to point out that--of the 15 people who regularly use git and
bzr--git still won.
<http://www.gnome.org/~shaunm/survey/first-picks-permutations.png> It
seems to me that a lot of brain power, sysadmin time, and general
proliferation of Things To Learn for New People(tm) can be saved if
the six people (1.04% of respondents) who ranked bzr above git in that
graph can just bite the bullet and admit that git won. Can we please
just all move on?

My fear is that this effort to keep bzr on life support will cause bzr
to show up as a requirement in distcheck for modules maintained by
people who are still holding out.
