It is a cheap price to pay if there is a significant return for it. In my experience using the hg mirror of the py3k branch, I don't remember having had to run "annotate" on the trunk to hunt for a change that I'd witnessed in py3k. Other developers may have different experiences, though. As for the clone time, one of our proeminent developers is, IIRC, on a 40 kb/s line. Perhaps he wants to step in and say whether cloning the trunk is a painful experience for him, or not. > Also, at some point you > presumably want to deprecate the whole 2.x line, right?

I would have thought there is already a lot of compression in the layout (given that it seems much more efficient than some of its competitors).
