"undecided" repositories would encourage people to stick with pack-0.92,
and we don't want that.  Having different inventory models in play just
leads to pain and format confusion.

With the release of bzr 2.0, we signalled that everyone should be using
rich-root formats from now on.  Our default format, 2a, is rich-root,
and has no non-rich variant, deliberately because it's reasonable to
have a watershed at 2.0.

You should use 2a if you don't need to be compatible with bzr versions
older than 1.16.  If you need to be compatible with anything since 1.0,
you can use rich-root-pack.
