I'm sympathetic to both arguments here, namely: "we could improve bookmarks and make them less bad" and "bookmarks are a dead end and nobody should use them and we shouldn't improve them" (or thereabouts - I'm summarizing complicated positions to less than a sentence, so bear with me.) I think not following up on our plans to at least make plausible incremental improvements to bookmarks serves our users poorly, and this extension merits landing as an experimental extension. We can always spin it back out if we get unhappy with it. > > > Obviously, I can't say I'm too happy with this. Allowing users to shoot themselves in the foot even more is pretty bad.

Having to constantly put up the good fight is completely negated if no one is going to listen and just ship this anyways. Bookmark related features belong as a third-party extension just like hgsubversion, hg-git, etc. ...it is? You're the only voice of objection that I'm seeing. I see some mostly indifference from BitBucket and some pretty good enthusiasm from the contributor, rhodecode, Kevin, etc. And it's experimental, so we can dump it if I've made the wrong choice. If I've missed some other /objections/ (as contrasted with what I perceive to be indifference - maybe I'm misreading Erik?) please point out my error.
