I'm guessing you mean of this development cycle?  I don't super mind
when it's merged - from my point of view it's probably a bit easier to
rebase this onto other serieses rather than the other way around.
Pulling it in after you've stopped merging new features for this cycle
seems like a sensible approach, I had been hoping it'd be possible to
merge it early so other things could be based on top of it but either
way works.  If you let me know when you're done applying new features I
can rebase on top of your current tree at that point.
