If your bzr branch is not bound, then your log messages will be
invisible anyway after merging to mainline (unless people actually
_want_ to see logs from non-mainline history); what matters is the log
you write when you merge. If your branch _is_ bound, then there are
no local commits. (If you are thinking about "bzr ci --local", then
these again look after pushing as non-mainline commits, so this option
doesn't change the basic facts.)
I suspect that people who care about lack of the ability to edit log
messages are talking about the latter situation. So the "you can edit
non-published history" stance does not help them.
