This is true. Performance is not everything to everyone. Most Bazaar users don't care at all; they say things like "who cares about a few seconds in bzr log when it gets the merge right almost every time". But we don't yet know that most Python core developers will feel the same way, and it simply is not appropriate at this point in time to dismiss performance concerns with "oh, I'm sure they all can scale."

We're Python programmers. We're used to people telling us our tool is
too slow. We just say it does the job superbly and it's usually fast
enough. :)
