The blog points out that this may actually be cut off on the server side, rather than it just being nice to migrate. When that happens, lp: urls will break for anyone still using old clients.

So we should of course do this in new releases, but it may be hard to reach everyone using old bzrs, and it will be a bad situation if access to lp: branches breaks. (Though not impossible to work around.)

 * there are some supported Ubuntu releases (primarily hardy) holding bzr releases for which there is no stable series
 * not everybody installs -updates
 * we're ending support for the 2.0 series soon, and weren't going to do non-critical updates
 * the SRU process is pretty slow and conservative

It would be awfully nice if there was some way to keep supporting it on the server, but I guess we should merge this into 2.0 at least.
