Okay. It's coming back to me. The situation was as follows:
- At that time, the fedora package for HG was missing a bunch of stuff. I
wanted to package the missing bits, HOWEVER 2. I knew that several of those pieces were about to be merged upstream, SO 3. If I packaged them separately, it was important *not* to put them in hgext, because if they got put there they would interfere with the later update of the base HG package.
How would it interfere? This is no different than many other examples: emacs/site-list, cron.d, preload.d ...
