Spark just asks me to resolve them myself.

Might involve INFRA to do it And in that case it would amount little more but renaming. It would seem it is much easier to create a branch, "stable master" or something, and consider master to be ongoing PR base. -1 on former, -0 on the latter. Judging from the point of both contributor and committer (of which I am both).it will not make my life easy on either end.
