Hear hear!

It's not an extraction. +1 And +1 on the feature too. Too often in the past I've relied on ZFS snapshots and cloning to help me make incremental webrevs, but when I forget to snapshot a ws after sending out a webrev pain ensues. With this option I need only commit every time I want to generate a webrev and refrain from collapsing deltas until I'm ready to push, and I've been doing just that almost from the get-go (thanks to having an office next to Will Fiveash, who taught me all I know about living with Teamware, and some of those habits carried over to Mercurial).
