Well, this is »suckmore« so things that »suck more« are adopted. There
was the plan some time ago to migrate to dropbox, when it gets better. Now
that time has come.

Using dropbox will save time – at most for me. That way all my active
projects will be dropbox.

If you do the Java 7 reimplementation of mercurial, of course it could be
used. But in the meanwhile the migration to dropbox can be done easily, so
it’s the viable alternative to the this prototype VCS Mercurial, which
is written in a prototyping language. The Java 7 reimplementation of mercuri‐
al will likely offer some easy migration path too.
