The 2.3-rc announced at 
http://www.selenic.com/pipermail/mercurial-devel/2012-July/042890.html 
bullet a) should have allowed everybody to test run their full release 
process and thus prevented this kind of issues ... but it doesn't help 
much when it only is announced on the -devel list where we assume people 
build from source anyway. I guess it should have been announced on the 
mercurial and mercurial-packaging lists too.

"hg-2.3 build fails on fedora" is not correct. It builds fine on Fedora 17.

The problem is that Fedora 18 currently ships with 
python-docutils-0.10-0.2.20120730svn7490.fc18. It works when downgrading 
to python-docutils-0.8.1-3.fc17. I guess the problem will show up on on 
all platforms and all distros when they update docutils.
