Hello Vincent. I think you're definitely not the only one, I have myself
aliased 'bzr log' to 'bzr log --forward', and have an alias as well for
'bzr log --f -r last:5..'.

Well, the option does what it says it does, limits the output to the
first N revisions, according to the current sorting order.
I definitely see an argument for changing it to "limit the output to the
N *newest* revisions". I'd be glad to hear what the developers think about
this.
Cheers,
