If GNU developers were asked to use GNU Hurd and to wait for Hurd bugs to be fixed because it is important to see if we can get them fixed, I don't think anyone would find it is an efficient way of supporting the GNU project--because the kernel is a central piece, and its limitations would affect our ability to contribute to GNU. I think the same argument applies to bzr as a dVCS: it is not just another GNU software, it's the software that we use the most often after Emacs. -- Bastien
