So you say, they did no testing and just decided to use bzr,
too bad I like those threads where projects were discussing
and testing which DVS to use after cvs/svn.

Have performance issues with bzr been the reason why the
XEmacs developers have chosen hg?  Didier said it was only
discussed on the internal mailing list.
