It’s OK if you do it today.  :-)

The branch is being built but it’s just the beginning.

Sorry, I explained myself poorly.  Here, we (1) grafted Expat in master,
(2) upgraded Expat in core-updates, and (3) only after that did we merge
master in core-updates, making the merge more troublesome, right?

My question was whether we should swap (2) and (3).

Thoughts?
