Hmm, I'm not sure I understand what your saying. But I think I must not
have been clear.

I'm trying to say that I see two separate changes happening here.

The first, some possible reorganization of development focus or rather
priorities. I think is probably a positive.

The second, a change in branding that places Bazaar as a Canonical
product. I think is a negative.

When I said changes in development focus were "still unknown" I thought
it was quite likely very literally still unknown; to anyone. Something
that might take a little while to actually sort out what the needs and
priorities are. I see now that it looks like that discussion is now
happening in another thread, although I haven't had time to read it yet.
