Indeed. Surprising this hasn't hit us hard before. To further on "this could
be helpful sometime"...if a particular repo or group of repos needed this
back on, we can always override it there.

In their defense, the way they view the review/merge model is that you
target the
lowest necessary supported branch for fixes and new features land in
master. Lower
branches are routinely merged upwards. The default behavior here totally
makes
sense in that context and clearly less so in a cherry-pick driven model we
use. But
yay for an easy fix :)
