Thanks for the reference.

I'm quite uncomfortable with this, really.

People who are using xen.git stable branches ought to get only changes
that we (or perhaps, someone else whose judgement we have some reason
to trust) have intentionally decided are suitable for deployment as a
bugfix or security update in an existing installation.

Ie, changes in stable branches are supposed to be low risk.  That's
not compatible with tracking an upstream development branch.

Sorry,
Ian.
