a) bzr update is something done often. and adding new network operations
to update should be avoided. Especially when the result of that
operation will in ca 99.999% of all cases be the same as when binding
the branch.

b) forcing nick updates so forces a new branch nick management compared
to earlier releases, while the proposed change only makes bound brances
inherit their nick by default, without changing existing branches.

my main concern is 'a', but see a risk that 'b' may affect some people.
