Seemingly stable or not, it's still just a candidate patch.
You've backed yourself into an unpleasant corner here, relying on a feature
that is still quite some way from integration.
Even worse, you are using a branch based on trunk, which we do NOT recommend
for production use.
If you really need this feature, you need to assume the burden of applying
these changes to whatever real release version you choose.

Sorry, but in this case you remember incorrectly. The locking and ruby
branches were undergoing periodic merges, but no others were.
Moreover, I don't think the text-time branch should be undergoing merges at
this point. Better that it remain quiet and contain just the relevant
feature changes until a suitable amount of integration effort can be applied
to it post-1.2.
Max.
