I am uncomfortable with this approach.
I feel that non-developers should not be playing with experimental
formats until they are proposed for becoming stable.
I will not work on development, because I do not want the additional
burden of providing an upgrade path.

I am also uncomfortable with this. If you want bzr-svn users doing
testing, then please provide a rich-root variant of development.
