Just to be clear, we certainly can't blindly merge the other 57 commits,
we'll have to properly review them just like we would review any
contribution, and I hope you expect as much.

But this is only the first time. If we managed to setup a merge cycle with
a trusted stable-compliant OCB branch, it should become progressively
shorter, and with only a few commits to review every time this could make
the process quite fast and easy. OCB would then really serve as a way to
sponsor and fast-forward bugfixes to stable without OPW.
