Besides, if Barry makes this experiment now and enough people speak up that it will make it difficult for them to contribute to Python, the Bazaar proponents can revert to an older version of Bazaar before a final decision is made.

I'm going to resist the temptation to respond to every message in this
thread, but really the point was to put forward the best experience
with the current experiment. I actually didn't think there were more
than a handful of people using the current mirrors and I didn't
expect any of them to have a real problem with requiring bzr 1.9. I
mean, it can be built and run completely from your own directory if
need be. Bazaar is Just Python (well, and a little optional Pyrex).

I'm going to resist the temptation to discuss moving beyond the
current experimental mirror or the final PEP 374 decision. The latter
awaits Brett's analysis and no doubt length and passionate debate
here. My own personal prediction is that even if a decision is made
soon after Pycon (Brett has said it won't happen before), actual
deployment is months away at best.

I think no matter what DVCS gets chosen, there will be lots of
operational details to be worked out about actually self-hosting those
branches to the greatest benefit of Python developers, both core and
non-core.
