This suggestion has been resisted in the past as it's not up to our
community's QA standards, and implying there is "support" when we
can no longer test that changes don't cause breakage is effectively
dishonest. In the past we've held that if a branch is no longer
testable, then there's not much reason to collaborate on code
reviewing proposed backports in the first place. If we're reducing
these branches to merely a holding place for "fixes" that "might
work" it doesn't sound particularly beneficial.
