It's ok.

You could do that (see "hg help commit" for the "--close-branch"
option), but it can create new heads if you pull further changes on
these branches when pulling from the cpython clone.
So it's more annoyance than needed IMO.

Yes.

The devguide should probably be updated to mention "sandbox/cpython".
(that's a good practice item)
