I think it's far to late to change the name of the _project_. bzr starts 
to be known, but many people wouldn't know that "olive" is the new name 
of bazaar ... We already have Bazaar 2.0/Bazaar-NG/bzr, I don't want to 
have to say "Olive, formerly known as Bazaar 2.0, AKA Bazaar-NG, whose 
executable was bzr" to let people understand what I'm talking about.

bzr is fine for my dvorak-fr ;-)

How about just bz otherwise? Perhaps a confusion with bzip/bunzip ...

Ah, one point in favor of keeping bzr : we have a .bzr/ directory which 
makes sense if the program is called bzr, and changing this has a 
considerable impact on backward compatibility. So, perhaps keeping bzr 
and letting users alias it to something else if they use it too much is OK.
