The use of the word "decentralized".

When I think centralized, I think "all users must commit to a central
repo/branch".  In this sense bzr is 100% fully decentralized.  You are
free to commit to a none-central branch.

What I mean is that it's fully decentralized, but it may have a bias
to the usage of a central branch/repo.
