There is a frequent confusion about the `phases.publish` configuration 
item : it is not about what happens with local manipulation commands 
such as `hg update`. Instead, it is about what happens when the 
repository is being pushed to.

It is a good idea to set it to `False` when you are using drafts, 
because sooner or later you'd want to push between two of your machines, 
or from a temporary working clone and then you'd get surprises if 
`phases.publish` is the default `True`, but that's about it.

Best,
