Sorry if I gave a different impression, but yes Launchpad dropped
Mercurial importing because bzr-hg was flaky, but them dropping it
rather than fixing it is what has effectively killed bzr-hg.

From the tone of various messages in this thread it seems that Bazaar
will not evolve further which means it is a dead end DVCS. This implies
Launchpad is a dead end, which would imply Ubuntu doesn't rely on Bazaar
or Launchpad, or is…

In any event I am likely to migrate all my remaining Bazaar branches to
Git or Mercurial on either BitBucket or GitHub. Sad after 8 years of
Bazaar use, but a pragmatic reality. Collaborators know, or at least
know of, Git or Mercurial but not Bazaar.

O'Reilly had declared Git the winner of the DVCS race in 2006, but I
didn't believe them.
