Has anyone looked into using Mercurial sub-repositories?

We have, and I think there's a consensus that forests provide a number of benefits not available through sub-repos.

Our main problem with forests is that the forest extension appears to no longer be a part of the official Hg distribution - that is, it's been abandoned as part of the main Hg codebase.
