Actually I read that as "I don't feel safe allowing *just any* kind of
branch ...". Aaron's just being (justifiably) careful.

But they're not going to be "subbranches" as far as you can tell from
the content of .bzr/[sub]branches, right? That's what Aaron wrote,
and as far as I can see there's nothing that could get in the way of
implementing it that way. They're just going to be "branches"; the
difference between a branch and a subbranch is how they're referred to
in the containing branch. So it seems to me that that is reasonable
to name it "branches".
Question: could this mechanism be adapted without too much confusion
to colocated branches?
