Yes, I'm going to have to merge that branch into tip now so I'd need the
assurance from Jonathan that this branch is not going to change.

Also, those patches are not tip-conform, but whatever, not that important for
a one-time thing.

What I really don't understand is, why this rush needs to happen now so that
we completely do a one-off on the agreed upon process and we have to do all
this unnecessary gymnastics?

We have plenty of time.

So why do we even have to debate this instead of you folks dropping this and
we merge it through tip and then everything's going the usual way?

When people start merging x86 patches in their trees, when do you think the
process will break down and we'll have to redo branches and go into a crazy
dependency madness?

We're not merging other stuff through tip without an Ack - why can't you
adhere to the process we've all agreed upon?

Yes, this can work now. Is it necessary? Absolutely not because it is
a one-off and will get everyone involved, confused.

So please do not do this in the future. If we don't react to the mail, you can
always ping us on IRC like other folks do.

Thx.
