Bazaar still below the radar when evaluating VCS tools

Howdy all,
Martin Fowler (of ThoughtWorks and much software-engineering wisdom) has
posted an article on the “recommendability” of VCS tools:
In our recent ThoughtWorks technology radar, we called out two items
as version control tools that enterprises should be assessing for
use: Subversion and Distributed Version Control Systems (DVCS). Here
I want to expand on that, summarizing many discussions we've had
internally about version control tools.
[…]
Fundamentally there's three version control systems that get broad
approval: subversion (svn), git, and mercurial (hg).
[…]
Speaking of DVCSs, there are more than just the two I've highlighted
here. Bazaar, in particular, is one I occasionally hear good things
about, but again I hear about it much less often then git or Mercurial.

Martin Fowler's voice carries a lot of weight in many quarters; it seems
Bazaar escaped evaluation only because he doesn't hear about it enough.
Could someone rectify that for him?
