Since creating a bug/branch and then changing it to proprietary has
the same result as creating a proprietary bug/branch, shouldn't all
users be able to create proprietary bugs/branches?  That would also
match the default proprietary bug rules better.

The selection of stacking branch is under user control.  They do not
have to use our suggestion (which is always the development focus
IIRC) if they do not want to.  We could perhaps modify the way we
suggest branches to ensure that the suggested branch is always
user-visible (i.e. use a different branch that is public.) We could
also teach bzr to ignore suggestions that it can't use.
