No I didn't try merging this before voting. I just reviewed these changes. Just
now had a look at hacking and found the following:

<snip>
Before proposing a change in STATUS, you should try merging it onto the branch
to ensure that it doesn't produce merge conflicts. If conflicts occur, please
create a new temporary branch from the release branch with your changes merged
and the conflicts resolved. The branch should be named A.B.x-rYYYY, where YYYY
is the first revision of your change in the STATUS file. Add a note in the
STATUS file about the existence of the temporary branch. If the change involves
further work, you can merge those revisions to the branch. When the entry for
this change is removed from STATUS, this temporary branch should also be
removed to avoid cluttering the /branches directory.
</snip>

I was not aware of the above, all these days. In future I ll follow it up.

Thank You.
