I agree with Eli's point above, FWIW (and not just because he happened
to use one of my (sadly rarer than I would like) commits as an example).
Preserving the bzr revision number isn't very distracting -- anyone
spelunking through this stuff already has good vgrep goggles on -- and
provides a valuable trail in the event of an urgent forensic expedition.
As we all know, such expeditions occur more often than we expect, even
after we adjust our expectations accordingly :-).
I don't agree with Eli's comments in a later mail about how he wasn't
sure we should entrust this job to ESR. It's a complex, time-consuming,
and apparently thankless task; IMHO ESR is doing a good job considering
all the inputs involved (both human and machine).
