The patch had been around for a few weeks already, I don't see this having
been rushed in. It's a bit a matter of taste whether an immutable branch is
necessary here, I thought it wouldn't be. I can also ask for one in the
future in cases where there's even slightly more than an improbable
possibility of a merge conflict going forward: it won't hurt in any case to
have one.
