Hi,

This is a little bit painful to review 1/2 already upstream patches
with some changes. And then later review the same thing in a different
form when they make it upstream.

Do you want to use sid as a packaging change test environment? Can't
we improve the CI infrastructure to test these better than users?

Alternative was getting non-LTS versions like 11.0.2 GA into sid a way
to get new features to users quicker. Our 10.7 -> 10.10 received
little testing because of less distro support which made it hard to
get changes until they were almost out the door on 10.11.

As you've seen the 10.11.4 release has probably outdated some changes.
