Comment(by vbraun):

 If you call mercurial from within sage ('hg-sage' and friends) to diff
 then we pass `--config pager.pager=...` in `sage/misc/hg.py`. So whether
 or not the pager is enabled by default in the `hgrc` is just a matter of
 taste.

 My vote would be:
   * Use `HGPLAIN` in scripts if necessary.
   * Keep the pager extension to intentionally break scripts that forget to
 set `HGPLAIN`.
