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.
