The above is really the one main purpose of the whole history.  You can 
read it as criticism if you want, but it does not change the fact.

It is very important to report faithfully what has been done, and what is 
the current state of information.  No promises, not future plans here, no 
excuses about failed attempts -- this happens routinely even to myself.

Extra bonus points are for formal references backwards using changeset ids 
-- some Mercurial browsing tools turn them into hyperlinks.
