I think that's a different discussion. Bazaar supports development
formats by default - it's just that Launchpad runs an old version of
Bazaar at at the moment.
Disabling the support for *all* development formats in the bzr running
on codehosting might be a good idea, but I think that's a different bug
than updating bzr to a newer version and updating lib/lp/code/bzr.py to
match.
I would be in favor of disabling the support for development formats -
it helps keep the repositories in experimental formats contained, as
they ought to be. If you would like me to file the appropriate bugs in
Launchpad/Bazaar for this, let me know.
Cheers,
Jelmer
