I think it's reasonable to ship in rawhide, if the basic clone operations work. This will satisfy 99% of use cases, i.e. cloning of repos from the web without any further interaction with the VCS. I don't have any data to back this up, but since Mercurial has lost a lot of it's erstwhile popularity, based on how things go with other python2-only projects, chances are that most extensions will not be updated in time for F31. And it's better to have somewhat functional clone operation than nothing.
