Do we have data about the number of users of Bazaar vs. git or mercurial? The real situation is that numbers don't matter, except in a popularity contest. What matters (technically) is that moving from central repo to distributed repo pushes interop between these systems to the forefront. JRHACKER <-> PREFERRED-VCS <-> PROJECT-VCS <-> WORLD (PROJECT) What matters (politically) is that PROJECT-VCS is compatible w/ PROJECT, and that PREFERRED-VCS is compatible w/ JRHACKER. Interop is a burden but not a fruitless one. Likewise, understanding different people w/ their different persepectives.
