Yeah, that's what I thought too. Or it could probably be used, but some only
if we find some extra filtering tool to clean the historic first. new bzr
format have the "bzr view" feature that, from what I understood can filter
historic per folder (could be very useful in general when investigating how
 module changes since say you put in prod), may bet that could be used as a
filter, I don't know. What is sure is that loosing module historic would
suck, that's too much useful to do a bzr annotate if you find some
regression at some place to find out why it has been done (provided it's
cross referenced with a bugreport) for instance.
