gwibber is just an example of something where I know the upstream lives on
launchpad, of course.  There's other things that have less volatile deps
that live on launchpad that people will want to contribute to but could have
problems getting if the format changes but isn't available in their client.

That would be helpful.  I haven't been following his work but would it be
able to address either of these two cases?

(Client with a newer default format):
$ bzr init-repo blah
$ cd blah
$ bzr branch bzr://older.repository/format/server/


$ bzr init newproject
$ cd newproject ; touch hi
$ bzr add hi ; bzr commit
$ bzr push bzr+ssh://older.repository/format/server/

I'm guessing not as the format is laid down on disk before talking to the
server that would have project information.... Unless you're talking about
project information being installed by someone's IT dept (or downloaded from
the internet) before the person starts working... that would be
non-transparent and therefore a bit "unclean" for the end-user though.
