Why Bazaar is not used in many project hosting sites?

Oh, and one reason for the something pile:  It seems like the demand for
bzr repositories isn't as high :-(

fedorahosted:

git -- 265
svn -- 76
hg -- 35
bzr -- 5 (of which two are mine)
mtn -- 1 (upstream for this project has finally consented to switch to a
different SCM, so we're dropping monotone support)

There are two factors to bear in mind: unlike sourceforge, etc, we
launched with all of these (except monotone).  So we don't have skew due
to supporting git first, then svn, then hg, etc.

Even though fedorahosted is open to any open source project, it does
tend to attract a lot of projects with developers who are from Fedora.
Fedora has a lot of people who are familiar with git and svn already.
OTOH, the same might be true of open source in general where there are a
lot of project hosting sites that offer svn (and now git) and fewer that
offer bazaar....
