As Greg pointed, it can lead to unrecoverable data loss and as Sean pointed out, we did it in the past for small thing like 'hg strip -b'. An extra element to take in account is that the actual result of 'hg rollback' have been shifting a lot in the past years as more and more things are using transaction. So scripting using 'hg rollback' might have already broke multiple times (especially if they do a lot of local operation, pull should be fine, push is not).

I'm open to being convinced (and obviously mine is not the final say on the matter).
