Thank you for that long, detailed response which basically amounts to
"we don't have a policy."

Unfortunately, I still have no idea what Nathan was talking about.
I don't even know if he thought I did something wrong.  Let's examine
his exact wording.  He wrote:

	First, that changes to the release branch only happen as
	pullups from the mainline.

I haven't yet seen a definition of "pullups from the mainline" which
differs from what I did.

	I realize that in many cases the effect is the same,

The same as what?

	but it keeps a consistent worldview

Please define "consistent worldview".

	and makes it easier to track what changes that have been made on the
	mainline actually made it in to the release.

How?

Sorry if I'm being an idiot.  Please be patient with me.

Thanks,
Sal.
