I don't understand all the worry about sys.subversion. It's not like it's useful to anybody else than us, and I think it should have been named sys._subversion instead. There's no point in making API-like promises about which DVCS, bug tracker or documentation toolset we use for our workflow.
I read “subversion” as “sub-piece of information about version”, not the name of a VCS, so I have no problem with its continuing existence under Mercurial (it’s in PEP 385). Regards
