We should really get the official word out, as people will start to
notice...[1]

FWIW I agree with Lucas points, and Olav comments, and will happily
proofread any draft (<- yes, this implies I will not write the
announcement).

John Carr told me Jelmer Vernooij has bzr dpush to git working; and
even if it still needs quite some optimizations, I hope energy will
be put into improving that, instead of new flames. (actually I know
I am just dreaming, but I like that).

As far as modules currently developed with bzr, the main contention
point will certainly be the java bindings:
