I still prefer bzr over git as well personally - though I'm quite a
happy git user. The sad truth is that most projects I contribute to are
maintained in git. By picking bzr for my own projects I'm making life
harder for contributors. I don't think there are enough advantages in
using bzr to justify that, and it would mean I have to deal
with multiple VCSes.

Just to clarify: That makes it sound like a coordinated decision, which
it's not. We're merely observing that development has stopped.
