That's not true. You are not required to use bzr, you can easily host
your code somewhere. When setting up a project you have the option to
specify a CVS or Subversion repo URL. Regular code imports from CVS
and SVN are supported too, and many Zope projects are being mirrored
in Launchpad's Code Hosting. Soon git  will be supported for code
mirroring too.
