For architectures that are neither primary nor secondary targets, that's definitely the case (the other side being that if the maintainer keeps putting major changes in and as a result the back-end is unstable at the time of branching, the branch won't be delayed for that). For primary and secondary architectures, more care is needed to consider the risk of a change (but basic enabling for a new processor as in this patch is certainly on the safer side). -- Joseph S.
