In my extremely limited experience with bazaar, I found that it performed 
poorly compared to git.  I've also seen similar issues mentioned in other 
Internet discussions.  There may have been great improvements made since 
then though.

I don't recall any benchmarks I felt were solid proof that bazaar could or 
could not handle daily work with and maintenance of the KDE repository.  
I'd certainly not discourage anyone from trying to convert the KDE project 
to bazaar, but I would advise them that they'd have the same hurdles that 
any new VCS would.

I'd also mention that Thiago and others have already put quite some work 
into getting Git ready to be KDE's new VCS [see Thomas' earlier email 
ITT), and it might be easier to built on that work (even if it's with 
another VCS) than to start from scratch.
