Basically he said that it was not clear to him (and I assume that to many other people) that the core extensions that ship with mercurial are as well maintained as the rest of mercurial's commands. He said that he was scared to enable them because in the git world even first party extensions are somewhat flaky and because he did not know if these extensions could change the behavior of core hg commands in subtle ways.

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

So, if we could query the user at installation on which extensions should be enabled, or perhaps on first use, would this make these extensions seem less experimental and more like a natural extension, or options, of the core repository?
