They were very helpful when I contacted them with specific questions,
actually, and for that I'm very thankful.

The point is that github and git provide, *for us*, a fundamentally
smoother workflow than bzr/lp.  I wish bzr and lp the very best as
projects, but I simply don't have the time to sort out the multiple
issues we kept on running into with the tools, when git and github
*just work*, out of the box, phenomenally well, without any further
hassles.  I'm not interested in becoming a full time bzr/lp
designer/architect/contributor, I'm afraid.

My time for ipython is very limited, and I can choose to spend it
fixing bzr or getting work done using git.  I've chosen the latter.

Cheers,
