I may not get to it today (which is my Friday) but I will re-read the LEP soon. > We diverged from Robert's suggestions in a few points that we know of: > > * We still plan to have lpsetup and lp-dev-utils separate.

Note that lp-dev-utils should be packaged too, so its a bit of a microoptimisation to note that it would need packaging :) > * Robert encouraged us to not support non-LXC environments, for a > tighter focus.

I think I said specifically that: - bzr's colocated branch support is very new and shiny - and not well tested or integrated with LP I'm happy if you want to support it as an option, but please make the default to be lightweight checkouts.
