No, because they are working on at least two different unrelated changes at once, and we aren't sure which will graduate into the testing environment first. If the unrelated changes are intermingled on the same branch then moving one moves both; and often at least one of those unrelated changes isn't functioning right and could cause headaches for the testing team. --
