Something about history I think.
You are arguing both ways, it seems to me.
I'm arguing that push doesn't buy you anything w.r.t. to speed when sending changes to Savannah. If by both ways you mean "push is slow" and "commit is slow" you are correct. We can just say "bzr is slow" and be done with it.
Whichever way I look at it, I don't see any upside to using bound branches, but plenty of downside. So, I am surprised that emacs-devs choose this mode of operation.
It was recommended here: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BzrForEmacsDevs. Nobody has stepped up and explained in this detail a better way.
