I don't think it is: as Guido said in his email, someone has to make
the decision, and endless discussion go nowhere, because you can
always make arguments for one or the other. Since some core developers
are strongly against git (Martin Loewis for example), and given that
hg is used by several core python developers already, I think it makes
sense.
