Roughly.  Basically only the head of the tree (possibly a separate tree in
and of itself ) would be the candidates for merging we would actively
be working on.

To some extent.  I get distracted, so I cannot provide routine
maintenance.  While we are actively merging I intend to do some of the
work, I'm just not likely to do a lot of out of tree keeping up with
the latest tree work.

I expect I will be actively involved while we get the core
infrastructure merged.
