Who are you talking to? The list traffic tells a very different
story. Mark Shuttleworth (Da Beeg Boos) wrote "Thou Shalt Have But
One Bazaar 2 Format", and got *lots* of pushback. AFAIK he gave up;
the Bazaar devs surely act like that pronunciamento is "inoperative".
Robert Collins is *not* on board on "2a", specifically, looms are not
included in 2a, which means at least two variants of 2a will be out
there in the wild for a while. (Silver lining: looms are usable as a
local improvement, you don't actually need them on the server for many
common workflows.) Aaron Bentley is *not* on board on "2a",
specifically nested trees have not landed, but they will. (Emacs
doesn't care, I think, but many projects want nested trees very badly.
It will land, not before 2.0, I suspect, but not too long thereafter.
This will mean a server upgrade, the formats are mutually incompatible
currently AIUI.) Four variants. And counting---don't kid yourself,
there will be more.
IMO (and that of the Python devs, see PEPs 374 and 385), Stefan is
right. You need to settle on a version that's either Available Now or
Coming Soon To A GNU/Linux Distro Near You. People who want to bleed
can always do that (to) themselves. :-)
