it's probably not so much about hg (or any other tool, for that matter), 
but about the workflow that's required for getting one's changes in. To 
me it feels like we're moving away from a more "scratchpad"-like medium, 
to static pages. That would be okay if we had several authors and 
technical writers that could create lots of pages with content. But this 
would mean that we provide all the information, and we are responsible 
for keeping things alive.
If that's what we want, fine.
It more or less boils down to the question: Do we want a Wiki (static 
pages) for us, or for our users?

Just some late night thoughts, to fuel the discussion...

Regards,

Dirk
