Okay, so xen/master rather defaults to some stable tree.

If xen/frontend is the topic branch, people ideally prepare patches per
topic, and trunk is rather xen/next, then the thing I still don't follow
is than xen/frontend hasn't been merged since

* commit 8800a1de3df00fa994f72ad0d7c1eda9b5a0b514

Why would I want to build a kernel derived from last July's state? Or,
put differently: Is it okay to merge these topic branches before
anything else?
