I don't see how valuable a branch would be that just piles up the fixes, it
would be more interesting to get a list of merge requests we think are
appropriate and then everyone can just rune a small script maybe that takes
the openobject-addons/7.0 of today and applies the necessary merges onto it.

Putting them all into one branch will make it impossible to see where each
fix came from.
