They could be for master, too; I'd like them to prioritize stable branch
changes over master changes, if that's possible to do. The advantage for
1.6 is that it would speed up rebasing/submitting a lot of 1.6 changes,
which can easily happen; I think speed there is more important, since
delays can easily delay the release process. I don't really see what
master submission delays impede.

I don't think the concern about differing buildbot results would be a
huge problem, though; we should notice it pretty quickly, and builds
breaking for "external" reasons still happen sometimes.
