As I mentioned, I'm also not a fan of supporting development formats on
Launchpad but I don't think the last statement is true.

The currently deployed bzr is 2.2.2, which doesn't appear to have
repository development format 8; when bzr > 2.3 lands, that will fix
this bug and allow people to push development format 8 repositories
(even though Launchpad's database may not know about the format, the
smart server will).

Cheers,
