IMO, named branches should not be used for feature branches. There is a limit
on the number named branches (closed or not) in the repository after which hg
tends to slow down. That limit is high enough that you will notice it
long after your
feature-named-branch-workflow has been accepted. IIRC, hundreds of
named branches
are no problem, things start to get messy with thousands of branches.
