Yeah, luckily, nobody expects such.  I do not think any of our
document says nothing other than HEAD like CHERRY_PICK_HEAD is
reachability anchoring point; they are designed to be transient.

Because they are designed to be transient, I do not think there is
any downside (other than the initial start-up cost) to including
them in reachability computation.  Because they are meant to be
transient, the objects anchored by them would be reachable from
other anchoring points anyway.
