So, if I understand correctly - there are no Mercurial mirrors for testing at the moment, There are repositories at http://hg.python.org/; the "cpython" one represents the result of conversion at some point in time.

What is the problem with realtime synchronization and working with already up to date Mercurial mirror of central SVN repository?

Development will continue in SVN repository until everybody is ready for final migration in X weeks later. Is that right? No; as soon as we switch, SVN will be read-only.

Why don't allow people who already know Mercurial use Mercurial and those who prefer Subversion use that. If Mercurial allows to submit to Subversion - why people can't use that while we writing tutorials and answering question about workflow?
