Urk.  ISTM that *is* the approach Karl started with, and it's
definitely the approach I've been trying to take in edits, too.  Do
you have specific comments on where BFED is straying from the Yellow
Brick Road?

P.S. RMS has taken the bait on stacked branches.  Prepare for a sudden
outbreak of sanity on my part.

Maybe.  I don't think this really hurt Bazaar in the Python evaluation
that much, though, if you read PEP 374.  IMO what really hurt Bazaar
most was a general feeling that Bazaar was very immature, that the
product really wasn't going to be usable unless people -- and the
master repository! -- were willing to be regularly updating to close
to the bleeding edge.  Hopefully today we can say "you will do fine
with any 2.x bzr."  That means that people who strongly value
stability (especially project hosts running the smart server) won't be
facing huge demand for version bumps until they are ready for them.
