Above are all valuable points.
So questions to my project in R1,
Is it good  to run a hg server on every Unix server I deployed ?
    This may be a good feature for a Unix configuration change management.
    Any admin with proper credential can see what other admins modified the 
configuration files.
    Lots of time,admins made the change but forgot to push back the changes 
to centralized
    hg server.

Interesting, hg server on every machines is actually helpful to my project. 
the only  things I need to watch out is
1.   I need to  disable is to stop hosting changes of other machines.
2.  make the hg server port protected with access control.
