In fact, they're moving from CVS, but the reason really seems to be that 
people have started to use Git to work around CVS or at least to use it 
for their own stuff, and thus not that many of the interested parties 
know Mercurial. The "mental shift" is minimal when moving from CVS, but 
I don't think that's the primary concern any more.
