(I think I didn't answer to your question in my previous reply. Sorry.)
Many people prefer to use revnos while reporting bugs or discussing
changes (this mailing list is the clearest example).
I was even asked to include that revnos in the binaries I publish, see:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2013-10/msg00002.html
So, even though the bzr revision IDs are unambiguous, (most) humans
prefer to use the revision numbers.
