Bitbucket deleting Mercurial repos June 1
Saw Graham Dumpleton's twitter https://twitter.com/GrahamDumpleton/status/1251815399848439810
and I had no idea this was a thing: https://bitbucket.org/blog/sunsetting-mercurial-support-in-bitbucket
>After much consideration, we've decided to remove Mercurial support from Bitbucket Cloud and its API. Mercurial features and repositories will be officially removed from Bitbucket and its API on June 1, 2020.
Unlike with code.google.com's shutdown and transition to long term archive, there's no archiving happening on the part of Bitbucket. Once June 1 hits, all repos are gone unless the project maintainers have migrated somewhere else.
Makes me wonder how many Python libs and projects will be affected? Passlib at https://pypi.org/project/passlib/ is one such lib. How many others are there?

I recently lost access to all of my repositories because when I tried to sign in, it corralled me to create a new "Bitbucket Cloud" account instead of letting me use my regular one. Except it didn't "upgrade" my account, it created a totally new one with the same email address. So now there's no email address associated with my original one.
