Exactly.  :-)

It'd also make life a lot easier for anyone that wants to do things
like use a single VCS to track local patches.  I actually kind of
thought that would be the point of Launchpad's code mirroring service
hosted in bzr branches.

I know that at least for me, I don't feel like learning several
different systems and their ways of working, and trying to remember
which one to use for which project.
