  Getting rebase (and maybe histedit?) enabled by default is my recollection of 
the rough goal.

conflicts with the final behavior we want for Changeset Evolution. Intermediate 
steps are a good way to make progress. I feel like it is important to write 
down a clear plan when it comes to adding behavior that does not match our 
final goals. How are we planning to transition from the local-only step to full 
(ie, distributed) Evolution?
  
  I'm slowly becoming convinced that the long-unquestioned axiom that "all 
markers are distributed globally" isn't correct, and this is part of why: it's 
potentially of great value to be able to restore a change by re-pulling it, 
even though the obsmarkers would normally cause it to be deleted. It's _super 
confusing_ when I `hg import` a patch and it seems to work but also immediately 
disappears, so I've got more sympathy for this PoC series than I do the 
theoretical purity of markers having any kind of globalness. Does that make 
sense?
