Last time I checked, Matt does not have the power to edit any web page
on the Internet. I'm sure if he did, he'd be just thrilled to spend
his days correcting crappy blog posts and clueless answers on
stackoverflow.com. (Sarcasm alert!)

I don't think you can get any more definitive a statement on Mercurial
than a message from Matt Mackall to mercurial at selenic.com. So if you
see people making misleading/inaccurate statements about named
branches, why not refer to them to Matt's message?
