Well, the tool is designed for a particular workflow. If you do
something else, you are fighting the tool and not taking advantage of
its bigger strenght.

I am advocating a particular workflow (reverse to current) because it is
"natural" to mercurial and I find it sensible. That said, the fact is
that current workflow can not be used comfy with current mercurial. That
is a shameful limitation, I do agree.

Some people is working in solving this limitations. But we have to
consider if using a "non natural" workflow would alienate new coders
familiar with "natural" mercurial workflow. Since one of the objectives
of HG migration is to ease external contributions, doing thing "the
right way" would help too.
