Then you are merging to the newer branches, commits done by some other
developer that, maybe, doesn't want to merge yet for whatever reason.
For instance, because she is waiting for a buildbot cycle.

Also, you have to deal with whatever problem you have during the merge
yourself (for instance, the API changed and the merge is not trivial),
when this work should be done by the original committer.
