This sounds like evolve is getting ready for being available by default
— is that impression right? Is there a path forward which would make
evolve available to every user of Mercurial?

I’m asking because there is power in defaults. It would mean that every
GUI tool could start adding evolve features without worry that Mercurial
might stop to support it.

And I wouldn’t have to search for the right version of evolve for the
installed Mercurial (on different distributions).
Though this is also a reason why merging into Mercurial is only useful
once evolve is conservative enough that we don’t need backports of new
features.

Thank you for your great work!

Best wishes,
Arne
