well, in fact, what we have now will merge the merge into the meanwhile
progressed mainline branch (*), i.e., it produces "merge spam" - exactly
the thing we don't want. but you'd have to do exactly that if you wanted
a non-disruptive non-replaying merge process.

(*) well, the current CI system will also create an additional merge if
mainline did not progress, but that's besides the point.

of the ci system of course.

i'd be a bit more pragmatic about that. ;)

not the hardware, but we (nokia) definitely should publish all software
and configuration we create in the process. that's a moot point if the
tools are developed with active cooperation from the external community
in the first place.
