then the Blackfin tree stays broken.  whatever, no skin off my back.

of course i have.  writing out rules is to codify the spirit of the process so 
that people can jump in and know how things works.  however, the point of the 
rules isnt to have a rigid unchanging methodology, but to keep things flowing 
in the spirit: merge windows allow new fun stuff while the non-merge time is 
for bugfixes only.  this of course assumes that the tree in question is 
stable/usable in the first place.  if it isnt, then there isnt much point to 
locking out changes to move it in that direction.
