Hi Joel,

In this particular case it may been unwise, but in general it allows me to
handle a higher volume of patches than would otherwise be possible.
There are of course other approaches, but this one works well for me.
I did express to what tree and branch these were being applied
+ exposed for build tests.

It will be shortly. That was just unfortunate timing because of the end of the
merge window and a some issues that 0-day found in other patches in the tree
that needed to be fixed up before making a mess in next.
