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
