some months ago, I was confident that this would be something temporary; 
unfortunately, practice has shown that so far we always had a few 
commits (1-10) that we needed to "short-circuit" into our branch because 
some internal team needed a commit urgently (maybe people that have 
worked on the N9 remember that situation). So I don't expect that branch 
to go away anytime soon, to be honest.

Yes, this is another reason why the branch will most likely not become 
redundant...
