Good evening Pierre,


As far we're concerned and currently having all our open projects still 
hosted on Bitbucket.org we decided to deploy our own mercurial based 
repository server with uWSGI and nginx.

We also think Mercurial is a great SCM which simplifies a lot the pain 
of having to use git for every day SCM management.

In our opinion, it is a unfortunate decision that Bitbucket has decided 
to migrate from Mercurial to git since it is a very stable and user 
friendly SCM so we are going to close our account eventually.

Best regards,

Jack
