The "Getting it" section already says that, in a small section that's visible without scrolling. The page's introduction includes important information about supported environments and copyright licences, so a TL;DR wouldn't be a good idea. > 2.

Bazaar doesn't implement shallow branches. You need to wait for the entire branch to download. Now that Launchpad has beta Git hosting support (http://blog.launchpad.net/general/git-code-hosting-beta), we intend to move the code for Launchpad itself to Git in the coming weeks. There's a test import of our Bazaar branches into Git at the top of https://code.launchpad.net/launchpad, from which you can do a shallow clone if you desire. But it's not always up to date, and not supported by the Launchpad team yet. > 3. The next page to be read is advised to be > https://dev.launchpad.net/Running > which uses another method. Why?

It's much quicker to download it that way than using the full rocketfuel-setup script. But if you want to run it, you want to use rocketfuel-setup. That's why there's no TL;DR -- you don't want to bzr branch lp:launchpad if you want to do more than look at it. William.
