While it would have been possible, it would have been counter-productive
to our effort to keep the branched tree stable.  History has shown that
developers don't always make the best decisions and ruin the party for
everybody.  Now we're providing a public sandbox to test things before
they hit the tree.

You're in Austria right?  Rex wakes up before I do, which is why he's
hitting them before me.  Finding somebody on the other side of the pond
who's interested in doing releng work would help.

Other options are to have dist-f13-build feed directly from
dist-f13-updates-candidate.  There is some risk there though, of things
being built against other things but not pushed together.
