Why not keep it on list - somebody might just do your work for you :-)

Besides, adding basic.qos to a client library is trivial because it is
probably the simplest RPC there is.

All the hard stuff is handled on the server.

BTW updating to tip in mercurial is a bit dodgy because you just get
some random revision - and a high likelihood that it'll be one that
you don't want - it is better to update to the head of a named branch,
for example the default branch.
