Yes, I recognize that nomenclature, so that's probably it. On the other
hand, since it's a choice per-change we can always choose to merge
somethings as patch chains instead. Some things will likely hurt a bit, and
this might very well be one of them.

However: Unless we have a volunteer stepping forward and offering to first
fix all the outstanding issues we have with Gerrit+Jenkins+Redmine, improve
performance and then keep supporting it for everyone else, sticking to our
current setup is not an alternative.  We need something drastically simpler
to maintain.

Cheers,

Erik
