I've updated this specific rule in [1] with the following:
"(Note: some patches may get exception from this specific rule. These are patches that do not touch production code, like test-only patches, or tox.ini changes that fix major gate breakage, etc.; or security patches that should not take much time to merge once the patches are published. In those cases, stable patches may be pushed into gate without waiting for all consequent branches to be fixed. Warning: in case review process reveals issues in master patch which require rework after stable patches are merged, it's expected that additional changes are merged into stable branches to avoid unneeded difference between branches. So use the exception with due care.)"
Hopefully, it's clear enough. If not, please update.
It *is* clear. Thanks for adding that up! -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)
