Breezy hacking day report

[Brendan Simon]

That's great progress guys !!

I have been using Python 3 with Breezy, under the assumption that was 
one of the main focus areas, and that Python 2.7 support may break.  
Seems that was the opposite approach being undertaken.  I can understand 
why so Bazaar users can easily and painlessly migrate, but I figured 
those users would probably stick to Bazaar.

Glad to see Python 3 becoming a first class citizen ;-)

Keep the good work coming !!

Cheers, Brendan.
