They are a convenience only locally in space (branch) and time (bzr
version). Bazaar provides no guarantee with respect to stability of
revision numbers.
For example, revision numbers may change if one pushes by accident to a
(public) branch that should not be pushed to, and that doesn't have the
`append-revisions-only'-property set (it has happened before, even to
trunk, as far as I can recall).
More importantly, revision numbers not only depend on the branch, but
also on the bzr version. I recall that the numbering, which is only
calculated at use time, has changed twice since 2005. As recently as a
year ago there was a discussion on new ideas for calculating revision
numbers:
