I think the problem is not baz itself, but that everyone is used to svn
and the hoary release date approaches.

Baz is on the radar, and many people are eager to give it a try; at the
Ubuntu conf we discussed about having some sandbox in which we could
play to see how it works.

I suggest we postpone all of this after the release.  Post release we
should do something nice together, like we start using baz for something
with lower priority and you assist us and get feedback.

The idea is to get (both us and baz) to a point in which everyone says
"ehi, baz is cool, why are we still using subversion?" -- and then
migrate everything to baz.


Ciao,

Enrico
