I really think that at this point we should continue practicing with
the current setup before deciding on refinements or changes.

Now, "hg strip" should definitely be absent of any recommended or even
suggested workflow. It's a power user tool for the experimented
developer/admin. Not the average hg command.

By the way, whether or not mq gets used is pretty much anyone's private
decision (unless we decide that patches must get split into logical
units and mailbombed for review ala mercurial-devel, which would be a
significant departure from our development habits).
