Fantastic. Though what Mercurial needs even more than Matt's full time attention is a really good forge. Bitbucket just really doesn't hold a candle to Github (and codeplex is pretty unattractive for anyone not a microsoft dev).<p>It's a genuine problem (for me at least) when starting a new project - bitbucket (-) and Mercurial (+) or github (+) and git (-). If anyone from github is reading this - please consider first-class Mercurial support. It would almost definitely be easier for you to do this than for bitbucket to make up the gap.<p>(I know lots of people prefer git, but Github already has that market pretty cornered. There is an opportunity among those who prefer hg.)
Perhaps they have or will soon, but you'd think Fog Creek (Joel Spolsky) would want to donate a bit as well since Kiln revolves around Mercurial:<p><a href="http://www.fogcreek.com/kiln/" rel="nofollow">http://www.fogcreek.com/kiln/</a>
