Yes. The next time anyone working on frameworks merges, your change will be included in the merge. However, this will not work forever. As things move around and change in frameworks, the 4.7 patch will not necessarily apply to frameworks. That problem comes up independent of merging vs cherry-pick though, and we're not at that point yet. Also, if you make a change which is likely not to apply cleanly to frameworks, it's probably best for you to merge it sooner rather than wait for someone else to do it wrongly. I also find it interesting that because most KDE people are working on 4.7 rather than frameworks now, we finally have a forward-porting workflow and mindset for the first time in a long time :). All the best, Steve.
