If all the reverse dependencies of Mercurial in Fedora are made ready
in time, we probably could. But that's still past the expected release
date for Fedora 30.
Mercurial 4.9 is supposed to be Fedora 30, so I think the only thing
we can do is allow python-zstd in the distribution with an exception
to allow including a python2-zstd subpackage in addition to the
python3-zstd subpackage.
I think mercurial 5.0 on python3 is not quite ready for production use. I
prefer to plan on mercurial 4.9 and package python-zstd, including a
python2-zstd.
