I think normally yes.

If this is holding stuff up, you have a pretty good excuse. It
shouldn't be the normal workflow, but hey, it's not a normal problem.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I hate the embargoed stuff, and every single
time it happens I expect fallout from the fact that we couldn't use
the usual bots for build and boot testing.

All our processes are geared towards open development, and I think
that's exactly how they *should* be.

But then that means that they fail horribly for the embargoes.

Anyway, go ahead and just pull in the fixes if this holds up your
normal workflow.

And if we end up with duplicates due to rebases (or worse yet, merge
issues due to rebases with other changes), it is what it is. Can't
blame you.
