Hmm, okay. While when starting to work on a bug people can branch it off
the RTM or 14.10 branch and it should be easy to cherry pick, it's going
to perhaps cause issues when we take bugs that are fixed in Vivid and
pull them into rtm-14.09. Not sure if that's going to be a practical or
purely theoretical issue.

At some point we're going to have to pull Vivid onto the phone in an
update. I'm not sure when that is scheduled for, so that's what I was
also asking. Apparently OTA1 is not the answer :-) I imagine it'll be
sometime after Vivid's feature freeze at least, but I haven't seen it
scheduled.
