So are looms.  I don't think it's a good idea to push pipelines
without considering whether looms are going to be added.

I just spent a couple days fighting with Mercurial queues.  The work
got done faster with queues than without them, but it would have
gotten done *much* faster in plain ol' git (with colocated branches
but no StGit or quilt).  I think for the particular task, looms are
closer to what I would want in Bazaar.

I don't think that in the long run it's a great idea to have two very
similar UIs with different underlying representations and separate
command sets.  So I advise considering pipelines and looms at the same
time so that unnecessary complexity is not added to the UI, even if
the underlying mechanisms can't be unified.
