In the Python series?

http://www.selenic.com/pipermail/mercurial-devel/2010-November/025825.html 
indicates that it is a mess around 2.6.

http://selenic.com/repo/hg//rev/917cf6bb6d0c indicates that 2.6.3 made 
a difference.

I have no doubt that Debian and other distributions backported many 
fixes in this area and thus made it even harder to figure out what works 
and support it.

So I guess it will be feasible to support 2.6.3 or later. If the actual 
validation causes problems on earlier versions we can disable it for 
specific versions, but if it is caused by the refactorizations we are 
out of luck.
