So we'll explain how to configure that in the .hgrc/Mercurial.ini file that
people will have to create anyway.

Alternatively, we do it the way Mozilla has done and let everyone clone/pull
over http and push over ssh. Then everyone always gets compression for the big
clones/pulls, pushes are a little slower (but they aren't usually that large),
and people who don't have push access already have the right setup.
