Why wait until 1.0? Hg is mature and used by a number of major projects.

BTW, there's a copy of Python's trunk converted to bzr on Launchpad:
<https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/python/trunk>
(that's the web page, not the branch itself)

I don't know of any conversions to hg. I half want to do it myself, but
I'm afraid to try to download so much from svn.python.org. :-P
