I'd imagine so. There's only supposed to be one version of mercurial.
This is to allow folks to test its readiness for python2.7's imminent
retirement before the issue gets forced. The mercurial ecosystem won't
be expecting hg-3 rather than hg so even allowing that will probably
defeat the purpose of the testing. (It would probably cause mysterious
failures whereas this is to detect existing ones).
