I think that page has a typo: it should be "discussed at the London sprint." Ryan and I were quite eager to change this behavior of not moving bookmarks. It was one of the experiments I mentioned in my previous comment. Over the next year or so, I learned there was a big difference between Ryan's use-case (the monorepo) and the everyday repo (average repo on Bitbucket): having one (and only one) centrally controlled repo is easy to set a policy like "don't move bookmarks." In the wild, there are tons of unknown variables of how people are currently relying on the behavior; in particular, scripts. In fact, I have a few scripts that do rely on this behavior. Changing that at this point (by default, without a flag) is ill-advised in my opinion. > Would you consider also addressing the `hg bookmark NAME` doing two very different things depending on the bookmark already existing? At this point, I would prefer not to change default behavior for similar reasons as above.
