How long is "forever"? I know that when I try converting from LyX, it does not 
complete after even an hour or so... I just opened an issue about this a few 
days ago (http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/bts/issue1133).

IMO, it should *not* be disregarded: I used to track the LyX svn repository by 
converting every 30 minutes with a cron job. However, this is now impossible: 
first of all, running an hour-long job every half-hour just doesn't make sense; 
and secondly, the job was timing out before completing successfully. So I really 
do think that something should be done about this, and I'm happy to hear 
confirmation of this problem from another source...
