Well, LP has the most visibility, both due to history and because it is 
explicitly mentioned by the Bzr docs.
So I suppose people choosing to use bzr naturally tend to use LP as 
hosting solution.
I would bet (not checked) that SourceForge has a majority of projects 
using SVN, just because it was the only option for a long time.

Mmm, good to know, but I suspect the project must at least be usable on 
a Unix flavor... I doubt a Windows only project can live there! ;-)

Indeed, that's why I asked. Somehow, I hate relying on a unique site to 
support a feature (that's why I don't use online bookmark services, etc.).
But well, Launchpad seems friendly enough, quite reliable and probably 
here for quite some time, so given that I really prefer Bazaar's way of 
doing stuff, I went for it.
