As much as I think Laurent has a burden of proof for how C++ helps with
productivity, I submit that you too owe a strong case for why the Mercurial
developer community should be hamstrung by support for a tiny
sub-population if said sub-population is permanently unable or unwilling to
keep up with the times.

This isn't a game of absolutes, and I'd rather have a discussion of the
trade-offs.
