"hg serve" unrecommended ?

Hi,

The following page:
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/PublishingRepositories
states "hg serve" "is not recommended except for temporary situations
where you need to publish a repository for a few minutes, for example to
pull changes from a laptop".

Is there any reason for this? I'd like to publish a small repository and
the advantage with "hg serve" seems that I just need an SSH account
(which I need for pushing to the repo anyway) without bothering the
server admin with various Web configuration issues.

Thanks

Antoine.
