+
+  This is actually the main reason I've manually mirrored the tree in
+the past, so that users of our projects can get BE.  If tarballs were
+available I probably wouldn't even bother, but bzr really isn't a nice
+dependency for just submitting/commenting on bugs.
+
+  Isn't there a bzr web interface that at least supports creating
+tarballs/zips?  It is pretty standard functionality for most other VCS'
+web interfaces so I'm guessing there must be, but loggerhead seems not
+to support it.
+
+  If it is a case of not having the hardware to host a more featureful
+web UI I may be able to offer some assistance.

+
+  Both approaches seem pretty odd to me, as a user you would have no
+idea if 0.1.200910302359 has the fixes you required in a release you
+were using that was numbered 0.1.200907141554.  Surely you'd at least be
+{pre,suf}fixing a branch name to the version.

+Thanks,
