So upgrade bzr.dev to a rich-root format?

Why you are worrying about hackers working on the mainline branch who
using a version of Bazaar that not already capable of supporting
rich-root is a bit of a mystery (actually, why you'd want anyone hacking
on Bazaar who is not at least using the most recent release [let alone
bzr.dev itself] is mind boggling, but anyway).

This is just more of the "it's going to hurt someday, and as long as you
keep putting it off, we're going to keep having conversations about how
it's going to hurt some day". There should be a recursive acronym for
this.
