Hm. I figured that there's a pretty high chance that the patches won't 
make it for 3.4.0, so they'd have to go into 3.4-stable, which then 
again means it's a lot easier to see which ones are still outstanding 
there. I still maintain a -next queue in parallel where patches destined 
for 3.5 go into.

Which workflow would you prefer if not the one above?
