Merging to devel and/or fixes branch is then much easier: it already

As I understand it, many people use the fixes_x branch, so it'll also

tested a lot sooner.
I'm glad somebody gets it!!!
General observation:
From an outsider’s perspective, it appears there was a migration from
Subversion to Git without a corresponding shift in workflow. Many team
members seem stuck in a "Subversion mentality" -- the idea that branches
are expensive or merging is difficult -- none of which applies to Git.
Unfortunately, the FPC project seems to have stalled since the
migration, and there is no clear consensus on how to properly leverage
these new [2026] tools. Given that, I don't believe there is much more I
can contribute at this stage. I’ll stay on the sidelines for now and
hope for the best. And yes, I'm still happy to triage/review Merge
Requests where I can. Could we at least get some triage labels added to
the fpcsource project, as I suggested in the proposal?
Regards,
Graeme
