But this has become an abstract policy discussion, because I don't
think either is true in the case in point.
bzr is well-endowed with development resources, as it is a mission-
critical part of its maintainer's[1] infrastructure, but small in
comparison to the organization as a whole. They are not going to
notice additional burden from Emacs's use. Nor is it going to make
the Emacs development environment worse than continued dependence on
CVS does. I don't know of any projects that switched from CVS or
Subversion to bzr that ever looked back.
Footnotes:
[1] Well, of course the GNU maintainer (is there one/more yet?
couldn't find one) will not be a corporation, but for these purposes
bzr is maintained by Canonical, not by any one person.
