Thank you very much for staying on this task! I'm still excited.

How about a week after, so we have more time to adjust release procedures?

Will you do test conversions of the sandbox projects, too?

Also I think we should have some document (perhaps the dev FAQ)
explaining exactly how to do common tasks in mercurial. For example
- A bug fix, which needs to be in 4 branches.
- A bug fix, which only belongs in 2.7 and 2.6 or 3.2 and 3.1.
- Which way do we merge (What's a subset of what?)
