Hey everyone,

I hope you are doing well.

Shelve is a very basic and useful functionality in hg. I was thinking that
it should be in core and should no longer be an extension. I was unable to
find reasons why shelve is still and extension.
With the use of new internal/archived phase, shelve is more robust. I tried
to find reasons about why it's not a core command and was unable to find
any.

Navaneeth who is one of our summer of code student working on storing
unresolved merge state, doing very good work there was interested in doing
more things and helping the community while he waits for review on his
existing work. I shared the idea of moving shelve to core and he liked the
idea.

Let us know what you think. If you have any concerns about shelve moving to
core, they are welcomed.

Thanks and regards
Pulkit
