Forest Extension - Not to be found?

[Roman Kennke]

Hi Kelly and all,

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but why not use the
subrepo extension for OpenJDK. It seems to replace the forest extension
and is a little easier to use, and I believe it ships with standard
Mercurial. Any pros and cons?

Regards, Roman
