That's because Raymond chose to break the usual workflow of fixing in
3.2 first. If he had waited for 3.2 to unfreeze first, there would be no
"waste of mental energy for nothing".

That said, I don't think it's useful to discuss hg workflows at length.
We certainly already did so in the past, and nothing came out (otherwise
we wouldn't have this discussion again). Someone could sit and produce a
written proposal evaluating the various possibilities, and we can
iterate from that.

Regards

Antoine.
