Removing the command (ls) to use only options is completely opposed to
the principle of bzr's CLI (like it would be for CVS, and many other
tools).

The --null option would mean "separate entries with '\0'", which is
used then by the -0 of xargs, and allows spaces and newlines in
filenames. OTOH, it makes the output unreadable for a human (try
"find . -print0" which is the equivalent for find), so making it the
default would not make sense.

But you can still do

  bzr ls --added | xargs bzr remove

if you have no whitespace in your filenames.
