I think we still talk about different things...

To make myself clear: I don't want to force anyone who uses Bazaar in
a decentralized workflow to allow commit messages changes. I just want
to make it possible to change commit messages in *centralized* Bazaar
workflows.

For example, is you want decentralized workflow, you could create your
repository like that:

$ bzr init-repo --no-trees --no-commit-messages-changes <location>

or, you could create your first branch like that:

$ bzr init --no-commit-messages-changes <location>

Any branches created in your repository wouldn't allow commit messages
changes, neither any branches branched from your first branch.

On the other hand, if I want a centralized workflow, I could create my
repository like that:

$ bzr init-repo --no-trees --allow-commit-messages-changes <location>

So, we both could be happy with the same Bazaar!

You switched to Bazaar because it allows you decentralized workflows.
I chose Bazaar because it's easy to use.
