I think the lesson from round-6 is to use separate branches when it makes sense and merge, rather than have it all in a 'ff' branch that ends up being rebased and not fast-forwardable.

Maybe we need to keep patches from each contributor in a separate branch under proposed/$R/ - each forking from the previous master. You could test each branch independently and pass/fail them. Any that pass can be pulled into the 'ff' branch either.

Or whatever would make life easier for testing.

Though, I'm not a huge fan of massive octupus-tentacled parallel branches in the main history either. So, perhaps a final rebase to linearlise 'ff' and final all-to-gether test before end of round would still be an idea.
