Well, fair enough, i guess the answer is "yes" to the question "will
you veto this" :-)
BTW, if we're keeping it, it would certainly be good if there was a
useful policy for how to deal with it wrt back branches. Perhaps there
is one today and I just don't know it? Looking at it now it seems that
the head version has a mix of head and backbranches and backbranch
versions has nothing? ISTM that's pretty hard to parse - thus I'm not
even sure that's how it's meant to be now?
