Bazaar development future (was: Bzr development stopped)

That would be nice.  Even better yet would be a healthy OS project
around it (either instead, or in-addition-to; we have a good
demonstration at hand of the dangers of dev being dependant on one
entity's checkbook).

It having not happened in the past, doesn't fill me with confidence
that it'll happen in the future.  OTOH, the freshly minted vacuum
gives it the best chance yet.  A man can dream.

That's called "damning with faint praise"   :p
