Since I’m new to Mercurial development, I’d appreciate any comments on this, particularly if there’s something that I’ve missed that’s going to affect what I’m proposing.
    
    Thanks for writing that up. I haven't fully read thru it yet, but one quick question: Are the bugs listed in that page filed in the bug tracker <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__bz.mercurial-2Dscm.org_&d=DwIFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=p_Xvja0WNU6-WnXI-KUj5w&m=0S-RHTt9AQit35BZMuQ_Sjd5HKOZJDbJYmXaZFvRbzM&s=ibVCL9XsZ_E6pmYimLKLDDB6kquD8Hr0tSmRAYmsQJo&e= > yet? Could you cross-link them with that page for reference when you get a chance?
    
The only bug that I’m aware of (having searched Bugzilla) is #5628.  I have added this to the wiki page.  Once we’d found the situation listed in the bug report, I explored around that area to find the list of things that are wrong listed in the plan.
