   What is the real situation? Do we have data about the
   number of users of Bazaar vs. git or mercurial?

The real situation is that numbers don't matter, except in a popularity
contest.  What matters (technically) is that moving from central repo to
distributed repo pushes interop between these systems to the forefront.

  JRHACKER <-> PREFERRED-VCS <-> PROJECT-VCS <-> WORLD (PROJECT)

What matters (politically) is that PROJECT-VCS is compatible w/ PROJECT,
and that PREFERRED-VCS is compatible w/ JRHACKER.

Interop is a burden but not a fruitless one.  Likewise, understanding
different people w/ their different persepectives.  (Note: I spew
generally here, w/o intention of speaking on anyone's abilities or
intentions.)
