Not at all. I'll reply to madduck with more stuff on the design
internals tomorrow. But as for being forced to support the core
assumptions of the arch model - bah.
bzr will support upgrades by converting the data from the arch archives
to individual bzr branches. These branches are not able to be converted
back to Arch archives - its a one way trapdoor. The presence of the
trapdoor is what lets Bazaar-NG not support the core assumptions of the
Arch model.
Aaron Bentley has already written a baz2bzr tool and I'll be knocking
the edges of that in the next month and a half.
