I thought the policy to be "issue warning in development versions and
remove them for production versions".  I would say that using branches
of bzr.dev and all the plugins' mainlines constitutes using development
versions :-)

Actually what would be nice is to be able to set a flag in the
configuration which says "OK so this is all development versions, but
treat it as a production version".

If there were Solaris packages of Bazaar then I would almost certainly
switch to not using bzr.dev and development version plugins, but using
the latest release versions.
