And anyway the liquidhg project is very different from what we call
liquid hg, there's no possible confusion.
Actually if it is implemented people won't refer to it as "liquid hg",
they will just say "this rev is liquid" and "that one is frozen". It's
more a UI/concept thing for end-users to understand the state of the
repo.
