If you mean the archives with only one long branch (imported cvs history)
found on bazaar.ubuntu.com, or with one centralized-developement branch
(may only guess here), then, yes, my use cases are quite different.

You are right, it is all personal. I am very annoyed by many baz
behaviours, and find tla-1.2 or tla-1.3 to suit me fine (except for
selective undo that I perform using tla-1.2.2rc2). Maybe this is because
I use arch-magic tools along-side with tla, that help me a lot.

Ack on Tom being a bad maintainer [as opposed to a scientist]. :)
