To me, staging is not enough exploratory the point to warrant an
additional ungrafting branch (my preference would be to rather see
staging merged sooner), but then I haven't kept a close look of what's
gone to it recently.
Having more branches also translates to more load on the CI, unless I'm
missing something.
Thank you for the initiative,
Maxim
