The fact is that once you start distributing them to other repositories you CAN NOT GUARANTEE their stability. Those number may already be used by _HIS_ branch and when he tries to get _YOUR_ branch.. there is a conflict. AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO FIX THAT. It's a fundamental flaw with distributing revnos. The reason you likely haven't seen a problem so far is that the bzr world seems to favor the use of a central server that has the effect of more or less synchronizing branch numbers to most of the nodes in the system. However, that's only one model. So while you may not have seen a problem yourself, there are _inherent_ limitations of the system you've embraced. But it seems like nobody on the bzr team cares or wants to hear about it, so let's just move on.
