Oh, it has been discussed in the Bazaar discussion group.  Look for
"rebase" in this listing:

  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/bazaar/2010q1/thread.html

I am sure that these kinds of technical discussions would have
happened myriads of times.  

I think the point where your help is needed is in impressing upon them
that gnu projects like Emacs are having to choose inefficient and
time-consuming workflows because bazaar does not support rebase.  If
rebase were available, Emacs developers can learn to use it correctly,
and use more efficient workflows.  So, they are imposting a cost on
the rest of us.
