+# Right now, the only efficient implement of the nodemap logic is in Rust,
+#
+# The case was discussed that the 5.6 sprint and the following was decided for
+# feature that have an optional fast implementation (and are a performance
+# regression in the others)
+#
+#   * If the fast implementation is not available, Mercurial will refuse to
+#     access repository that requires it. Pointing to proper documentation
+#
+#   * An option exist to lift that limitation and allow repository access.
+#
+#     Such access will emit a warning unless configured not to.
+#
+#   * When sufficiently mature, the feature can be enabled by default only for
+#   installation that supports it.
