I don't see how this would be any more the case for SVN than
mercurial. In fact, I don't see how this could be the case for _any_
other SCM than CVS, which would imply not to change the main SCM --
which IMO _is_ a serious option.

Are you talking about the SCM or about the Emacs support for the SCM
here? In the later case I don't fully agree, most parts of Emacs get
constantly improved mainly because people actually (have to) use them.

I would say, this is the case for mercurial, not only by personal
experience, but from the references, too:

as said before, I don't see how to prove this point, apart from emacs
there are very few projects where the frontend tools used by the
developers are well known...
I do use mercurial together with DVC, and think that it is sufficient
usable, there might be glitches, but even PCVS has its glitches,
doesn't it?

Mercurial is written in python and well tested on many platforms. I
used it my self on GNU/Linux, NetBSD, Solaris, HP-UX and AIX -- and
Windows is supported, too.

A conclusion is simply the place where someone got tired of thinking.
