<pre wrap="">Another big problem we'd still be likely to face though is the dominance
of Github vs. Launchpad. While Launchpad is definitely functional, it is
by no means as snazzy as Github, and, what's more important, not as
well-known or popular. Everybody tells you to have a good Github profile
in your CV, I've never heard anybody say that about Launchpad. Apart
from the Ubuntu (and derivatives) world, most people seem to be putting
their open source projects on Github. And Github happens to be using
git, not bzr.
P.S. Nice to see some activity on the mailing list again :-) It had
become somewhat quiet here...

<font color="#663300">That is why I suggested getting some kind of
acceptance from BitBucket and possibly SourceTree.<br>
<br>
BitBucket already handles Git <u>and</u> Mercurial, so adding
another DVCS would probably be less difficult as the
architecture supports multiple (2) DVCSes already. Same with
SourceTree. What would Atlassian get out of it? I'd argue that
they could get a better DVCS, be a one stop shop for the 3 most
popular DVCS systems, and attract more users to BitBucket, which
could attract more users to their professional paid for products
(Jira, etc). The sell to Atlassian would (probably) have to be
that some core Bazaar developers would do a lot of the work, if
that's the way they roll? Doesn't hurt to ask.<br>
<br>
I like BitBucket because is has <u>free private repositories</u>,
supports Git and Mercurial, has issue tracking, etc. I really
wish it had Bazaar support !!</font><br>

This excerpt is from Feb 2013.<br>
<br>
"""<br>
I will be honest with you all. We have no plans to support Bazaar.
This is no reflection on the tool.<br>
We just don't see the demand that would make it worth our
development investment.<br>
Right now Git and Hg are the two DVCS's we find most users are
looking for. If that changes in the future we will reconsider
supporting whatever VCS demands that attention.<br>
Thank you for your understanding, cheers,<br>

<br>
Assuming the attitude is still the same, then one would have to
convince them that Bazaar has, or would have, a significant user
uptake, and/or maybe they would allow some Bazaar developers to
make it work on BitBucket ? I will ask the question, just to see
what kind of response they give :)<br>
