It's too late for the feature freeze, but I'd like to suggest remote repository
creation (with ssh://... or https://... URLs) as a feature. It would allow
projets migrating from e.g. SVN to keep the same feature set without forcing
people to log in with ssh and do manual things there (which is a mild annoyance
for Un*x users, but probably much more tedious for Windows users).

Bonus points, probably, if the said repositories can only be created under a
given configurable subdirectory so that they are accessible through hgweb.

Regards

Antoine.
