Isn't there a branch locality argument worth taking into account here?
E.g. if `hg branch` gives you 'stable', you're certainly more interested 
in the latest "the-latest-build-that-actually-works" on the 'stable' 
branch than in a more recent "the-latest-build-that-actually-works" on 
an 'experimental' branch...
