My questions based on the original post:

 - I don't know what he means by "bzr delete".  Does he mean bzr rm?
I'm assuming so, and that this is what you are assuming.

 - Are the concerns for stacking unfounded?

To make sure I understand your email:

 - Using bzr rm was a mistake.

 - Use uncommit/revert/push --overwrite as you described instead and
it should work out fine, including stacking.  If they have commits
since the bad one that they want to keep, IIRC uncommit lets them know
what to do to recommit the later revisions.

Did I understand correctly?

Thanks

Gary
