Since we switched to the launchpad bugtracker, I never used the 
bugtracker anymore. It was really a pain to use at the time we switched
and it wasn't compatible with the IE browser.

But now, just looked at lauchnpad, it seems to look good now.

I think our biggest problem in the zope community is that nobody really
have time for additional things. I see that there is progress with
performance improvment and some dependency cleanup which is very good.
But to switch to another versioning tool is just a nice to have thing
and comes allways at the wrong time ;-)

btw,
I never saw a discussion about subversion and things we could not
do with it. I don't belive this is a valid reason for switch to 
an exotic revision system which only a few projects use. We still
need to stay with subversion for other open source projects.

Does anyone have a pointer to a statistic about the usage of
subversion and bzr?

In my point of view the best tool will be used most at least since 
both of them are free. If someone could show me that bzr is getting
more attraction then we probably should swith at the time subversion
get not used aymore for new projects which was the case with CSV.
