The decision that the bazaar-ng model was where the Bazaar team wanted
to end up, whichever implementation they used, was made last November at
the London code sprint.

The decision to use the Python bzr implementation was made sometime
after Ubuntu Downunder (where they reaffirmed the 'develop in parallel'
decision) last April.

Absent any other evidence, I think it's reasonable to assume the
decision was made at the Bazaar sprint in Brazil between the 18-24 of July.

My impression was that they were eager to promote the model, but weren't
trying to sell a particular implementation.
