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.
I'd like for us to ship Mercurial 5.0 on Python 3 in Fedora Rawhide
for sure. I think the six(ish) months of baking in Rawhide should be
sufficient for getting Mercurial ready to go for production use on
Python 3 and getting the reverse dependencies ported.
