Hmmm let's see bzr supports central control and FS ACL's it supports svn checkouts where your
commit cannot rewrite history on the server and cannot divert mainline history. It supports central
repository as well.
So if you want or need "coorporate theatre" and still have no pain DVCS merging choose bzr.
I'm very confused which 2 DVCS were picked? I guess git but I can't place the other one bzr, hg,
darcs, monotone?

from my own experience, I would guess hg, but bzr has some pretty big deployments (launchpad...)

The Launchpad source tree is 150MB, full history is 280MB. That's tiny!!
Judging by the icons on http://bazaar.canonical.com/en/ it looks like MySQL and GNU Emacs are the biggest bzr projects, but they're miniscule by KDE/Gnome/Moz/etc standards.
Does bzr have a win that's not shown in those icons?

Launchpad with bzr as a deployment is more interesting than the size of the source code of launchpad itself. It runs (taken from their frontpage) more than 17.000 projects, so there are many bzr users.

I guess the biggest project is Ubuntu, but I'm sure they do not use one shared repository.

They are nice guys who behave friendly.

How many projects are the on repo.or.cz, gitorius, github, codaset, under git at Sourceforge and similar sites? Just github claims some 150,000 public repositories! This surely dwarfs any bzr stuff on Launchpad...

That wasn't the question, and I'm not talking about X having the most users or Y having the hugest deployment. The root of this discussion was the question what may be the second mentioned dvcs. I'm sure it's mercurial, but it's important to see that bzr nonetheless has a big userbase.

Funny to see that always someone needs to state that he has the biggest.
We can all hope that svn won't dwarf anything else with it's again bigger userbase ;)

If you have the right access to the repo, you can falsify history. Hell, you can create any history you want. A centralized system is more dangerous, as it is a single point of failure here.
With a bit of massage to git (see the ProGit book, and in particular gitolite) you can restrict who can rewrite what history, so this is long not an issue anymore.
