I'm okay with this. You could easily write a plugin that did it, all you
have to do is modify the bzrlib.builtins.cmd_missing.aliases to include
'miss'.
It is as simple as:

alias_missing_to_miss.py:

import bzrlib.builtins

# I use = [] instead of .append because
# cmd_missing doesn't have it's own aliases list
# and if you .append() I think it would modify the
# low level Command list of aliases (effectively
# aliasing all commands that don't have any aliases)

bzrlib.builtins.cmd_missing.aliases = ['miss']


That should be sufficient, just put that in you ~/.bazaar/plugins/
directory.
Or it is a single one-line fix to bzr.

I'm +1 for aliasing miss to missing, I can't think of any other commands
that would start with 'miss'.
