I think Martin's point is that "yes, this is probably true, however
the bug doesn't actually motivate us to do anything". Without concrete
things to be done.

So if you want to change this to:

 bzrlib.Foo.Bar._baz

Is a hard-coded constant that could be better served as a config item.

Then it is something that we can actually *do* and close the bug.
