Well, if we are already screwed if we do a blind merge we might as well stop wasting our time on doing blocks since that is the only real use case for bothering.
Maybe we should consider switching to hg now rather than waiting? (Well, by "now" I mean after I release 2.6.5 :). We're still a month away from 2.7 beta 1 and 6+ months away from 3.2 beta 1. If svn is hopeless (and my vote is that it is) let's do the switch now with plenty of time to shake out the pain. Nothing like angry developers to motivate that, and at least now that Pycon's over, physical intimidation is more difficult. :)
Seriously though, do we really have to wait until 2.7 is released?
The hold-up will ultimately be the EOL extension and the updated docs now that Dirkjan has a patch for sys.mercurial. The 2.7 date was to give a target date push those last two items to be done.
