*Shrugs*  It depends upon the problem space.  From the OP narrative, it  
seemed as if they were using hg for their own projects and wanted to  
wrap up working change sets into a single logical commit to the shared  
branch.  MQ seems like an odd tool to use for that purpose, but that may  
just be my unlearned opinion. (I haven't used MQ that much, so I am not  
being sarcastic.)
