   Depends on the problem.  For example, the recent library name changes
   relating to libltdl/dlopen issues may or may not belong in HEAD, but
   they're critical for 1.6.

the recent changes may or may not belong in HEAD but the questions i'm
asking are: (1) what *does* belong in HEAD?
            (2) how does the 1.6 library handling relate to (1)?

   Since it's very likely we'll choose a different long-term solution
   for this problem, and we won't know until we have the discussion, in
   my judgement there was little point in trying to integrate the
   changes into HEAD right now.

of course these things follow.  i'm not questioning the consequence of
the approach, but the wisdom of using that approach in the first place,
which seems backwards and make-work-ful to me.
