Please, no.  "The other topic has been merged to 'next'" is *not* a
good reason to do this.  Before that, the other topic was in 'seen'
and causing conflicts already, so getting into 'next' did not create
any new reason for rebasing.

I'll manage this time, but please do not do such a rebase unless you
are asked to do so.  The rebase will force me to do (1) detach from
'next' and apply these, (2) discard the result and detach from the
base of where the previous iteration is queued, (3) apply the new
iteration with "am -3" to undo the rebase, before I can compare the
new iteration with the old iteration.

Thanks for that note.  This topic has been queued on top of
v2.43.0-rc1 which has 0763c3a2c4, so we'd be safe.

Will queue.
