(Particularly because I had to create this branch considerably earlier than I would prefer as a general policy, because it was an entirely new process and we needed to allow time for it to settle down.) > Is that an option that has any chance of being considered/discussed?

It's worth adding for completeness that the converse has happened too; for instance I fixed a latent packagekit bug yesterday [1] that was exposed by an otherwise entirely innocent change in apt [2] and entirely broke click package installation/removal on the phone, but that didn't affect the ubuntu-rtm images because the new version of apt (rightly) hadn't been synced over to ubuntu-rtm. It is of course a judgement call whether we spend more time on that kind of thing than we do on fighting with ubuntu-rtm being somewhat behind.
