Not requiring any Mercurial extension to contribute to Python would be a nice policy to lower the entry bar.
That is already defeated by the need for the eol extension (which is now built-in in hg 1.6). Activating mq is something every developer should manage...
Okay, make that “not requiring any third-party Mercurial extension” :) Some extensions are too useful to be left out, and since they’re shipped with Mercurial the cost of using them is null (patchbomb, eol, bookmarks, graphlog, progress, relink, crecord, rebase). MQ is another beast, it’s a new way of using Mercurial for middle or advanced users. Cheers
