Assuming things on the faster-compiler-branch actually make the

I won't agree to this unconditionally.  What if the patch
is really really gross and seen to be unmaintainable in
the long term?

That's why I said "assuming the branch has a reasonable checkin policy", specifically to avoid this problem.
