This is somehow a waste of electrical resource. This discussion [1] is not done IMHO and we are seeing again another instance of what I tried to describe [1].
BTW, please note if we would like to follow what is described by "Managing Patches and Branches", the workflow would read: create a topic branch where the topic is "input- label", apply the whole fix (including the rebuild cycle), build it then merge.
Somehow I'm missing a point with the argument... Whatever. :-)
For sure, now is better than never, as a good Zen said. So I will live with this merge.
Cheers,
