I'm just curious why you guys chose Bazzar instead of CVS? It took me a little bit to feel comfortable with UberCart initially because it didn't have the repository on drupal.org, and to me that's one way to measure a module's status.
Why Bazzar instead of CVS?

Bazaar is very flexible and easy to learn. The commands are simple and it's easy to get started. For both CVS and SVN, it seemed like there was a lot of overhead in getting a repository up and running, and then you have to open up ports in your firewall, and on and on.
Also, Drupal has a Bazaar repository too. It's just not advertised and used as much as the CVS. Part of our decision was just wanting to try it out. So far it seems to work pretty well.
When we were creating a repository the talk on Drupal.org was that Drupal planned on using Bazaar alongside CVS and eventually as a replacement for CVS. We did not want to implement CVS only to have to replace it in the future with Bazaar when Drupal changes over. Also, our research indicated that bazaar is a better solution.
