In case any Mercurial people are reading this: It might be helpful to advertise that release schedule information more prominently on the home and/or download pages of your site.
I've been using Hg for a while on various machines, but I hadn't noticed anything so regular. I just set up a whole load of machines for some colleagues yesterday with the then-latest version, wondering why downloading the installers seemed so slow. I assume with hindsight that I missed the update by a few hours at most, and maybe the connection was weighed down with release-related tasks.
(Oh, and thanks to the dev team for the hard work, BTW!)
See http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/TimeBasedReleasePlan
Personally i find it great (and we try to do the coding sprint one/two months before the next release, so the big features have some time to be stabilized).
