I don't think so. I was answering to that specific point: that some
GNU projects do double duty. bzr was chosen as a political statement,
so its role as message took priority over technical quality (its
technical quality, and those of the alternatives).

You're agreeing with Tom: the choice of bzr was "perfectly reasonable"

I have used it. Perhaps that's why it's a bit more difficult for me to
consider it a perfectly reasonable choice.
(I'm not trying to restart that debate, though; I'm just agreeing with
Tom on a very specific point of his very interesting thoughts).
