The burden should be on operators to simply run `git pull` on the branch rather than asking maintainers to do a lot of work to prevent that.\n\nI do not want to support operators running some local-carved-up version of a stable branch; I want to support the stable branch.\n\nThere are cases where recently merged patches can act as a prerequisite -- including those either as patches or in notes as a courtesy is a nice to have, but I am extremely -1 to putting more burden on the maintainers.","commit_id":"94ffdabe47bfb80736d4b2c20bd7d36881f13694"},{"author":{"_account_id":16643,"name":"Goutham Pacha Ravi","email":"gouthampravi@gmail.com","username":"gouthamr"},"change_message_id":"1f4b64d0d63692baeb38c2d94c425b96384c6271","unresolved":true,"context_lines":[{"line_number":97,"context_line":"branch.
