All these branches are @uref{https://hydra.gnu.org/project/gnu,
tracked by our build farm} and merged into @code{master} once
everything has been successfully built. This allows us to fix issues
before they hit users, and to reduce the window during which pre-built
binaries are not available.
Generally, branches other than @code{master} are considered
@emph{frozen} if there has been a recent evaluation, or there is a
corresponding @code{-next} branch. Please ask on the mailing list or
IRC if unsure where to place a patch.
