Exactly. Your time will be better spent on issues other than BZR.

Most GNU projects aren't using BZR as you might be aware. While helping
BZR fixing bugs might be a gain for BZR, it is a loss as a whole for
GNU. Volunteers spend their spare time on GNU projects and if 20% of
that time is taken up by wrestling with BZR, it becomes costly to the
point discouraging people from joining.

For the greater good of GNU, move off BZR seems like the only sound
choice.
