I'll bring it up on the list. I was wrong to actually mention db-devel here; what I actually should have said was that I wanted to cowboy it on staging first so that we can give it a bit more testing than we usually do in QA while not blocking deployment.

We had a problematic update of bzr last year; cowboying on staging was one of the suggestions for making the next landing smoother: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/private/canonical-launchpad/2011-July/067332.html

The two methods are on a class that implements a bzr interface (Transport). Newer versions of Bazaar have these two extra methods , and will call them.
