The Bugzilla tree, as trees go, is pretty tiny, isn't it? Will the worse
performance characteristics of the older versions really affect us
significantly? I mean, a really active Bugzilla developer might check
out once a day, create a branch once a week, commit three times, do a
dozen diffs.

The time increase has to be traded off against the time needed to
install a new version of bzr. If you are on Windows, of course, it
doesn't matter too much - you need to install one whatever. But if you
are on a more sane platform, you might have one packaged by your OS
developer, and would prefer to stick with it. If diffs take 0.5 seconds
longer and committing 2 seconds longer on the old versions, I would
suggest the advantage doesn't outweigh the need to get everyone to
install a new version of bzr.

My OS, Ubuntu 9.10 comes with bzr 2.0.0. What do other major platforms
come with in their repos?
