No. It all worked. The only issue is that the commit e-mail that ws sent
to the dev list is lost. It is possible to re-create it but I don't
think it is worth it. If others disagree, I'll dig through the infra
docs and remind myself how to do that.

The main reason those branches when to RTC was to reduce 'complications'
when committers disagreed about what should go in those branches and/or
how it should be implemented. RTC helps promote consensus. It does also
aid stability.
