This is the case for most fixes, of course.  After the release of
5.10.6 bug fixing was (mainly) done on the trunk.  Only in the last
few weeks bug fixes have been ported back to v5-10.

There are at least the following situations were such merges make
sense:

- New bug fixes committed by the Gnus developers.  E.g. my last two
  changes in v5-10.

- Changes from Emacs' repository (or did you already merge those in
  the Gnus trunk, too?)

- My next change: Adding ":version" to all new defcustoms.

  This will give a couple of rejects in gnus-sum.el, gnus-group.el and
  gnus-art.el.  I can resolve those manually in case you want to skip
  them.

This makes sense, I think.  Thanks a lot!

Bye, Reiner.
