Jelmer,

Can you please refresh my memory about the particular problems this will 
cause you? Were you objecting to rules in particular or the broader 
concept of having a .bzrmeta directory? We certainly need *a* solution 
and this proposal seems to strike a reasonable balance of pros vs cons.

Can we solve your concerns by putting access to .bzrmeta/rules (or 
.bzrmeta/xxxx) behind an API friendly to your needs?
