Pretty strict, but we are no fanatics. If your patch is clearly local
only (say, affecting definitely only your own board), then we may bend
the rules a bit.  Massiveglobal changes are a strict no, no, though.

Of course development goes on continuously.  But patches willnot be
accepted into the current mainline tree until the net MW opens.  Often
there will be "next" trees or similar in the respective custodians
repositories.
