I know, I hope you're OK now.

:-) There's no such thing as a to verbose commit message.

Speaking of which: maybe it's good idea to reference the commit hash
ie. instead of 'Updated CHANGELOG'

Merge "down" in stable/release branches (RELENG*).
We're using MASTER as testing ground for everything: bug-fixes,
improvements, small, big changes. Supposedly they will be tested before
merged merged down, the idea being to have the stable branches OK at
all the times.

Pushed down in RELENG_M
The interval is just so that I can do a script that will send
remainders and it's at committer's discretion since he should know best
how much testing is needed, how big destabilizing impact it can have,
etc. As a rule of thumb I'd say:
- 1 day for comments, docs, small changes
- instant for security fixes
- 1-3 weeks for bigger changes (I was one of your commits with one week)

Merging from RELENG_M to RELENG_M_m and RELENG_M_m_u would be done for
the releases only (some days before we start a new release cycle).
