IIUC, you're saying "no" to "would we like GNU packages to do that?" (ie, using Bazaar). I'm agnostic; I'm just not comfortable with the idea of not taking into account reliability, user interface, scalability, performance, etc., and blindly assuming that all current dVCS are more-or-less equivalent. git is quite fast; mercurial has a nice interface, etc. Using one or another does definitely not offer the same experience, even if the functionality is very similar.
