Oops, the above entry in the "What's cooking" report is totally
bogus.  It is not merged to 'next' yet, and 09f0b84098 does not
exist in the public history of the project.

What happened was that I rewound 'next' after making a trial merge
before pushing the result out.  I updated the "What's cooking" report
while the trial merge was in 'next', which I should have redone.

OK.

After -rc1, anything merged to 'next' will by default stay there
until the final.  Hotfixes will be merged to 'next' and (unless I
forget) will be marked as "will merge to 'master'" when that
happens, so that we will have them in the final.
