Though I do believe you are spawning a real process (bzr lp-serve), so it seems reasonable that the client could do: BZR_REMOTE_PATH=bzr-2.1 bzr branch lp:foo And on Launchpad's side, it would just have a list of allowed bzr's that could be spawned. I would assume that the real problem is the specific "what it takes to bundle 2 versions of bzr on codehosting."
