I cannot say anything about revc but it seems that someone with Tom's
expertise would be needed to bring it up to maturity.  If Tom is not
interested in it we won't see it developed further.

Tla (GNU Arch 1) has architecture limitations so it won't see improvements
necessarily to be competitive with newer SCMs like git or Hg or bzr.  I
should make a new release with some minor interface improvements but there
is no major change.  So yes, GNU Arch had its glorious days but it has
passed its prime... but in the history of SCMs GNU Arch will always has its
place; git, Hg, bzr, etc. all have been influenced by GNU Arch.

Yes, bzr is now the GNU Bazaar.
