Well, last two big updates to Daisy has had issues; so I think we need
to improve the process.

One possibility which came to my mind is if you announce you are
intending to merge daisy-next on mailing list and give some days for
'regressions report' before merging.

I am not opposed to minor things go in during the process (or even
direct to daisy) but version bumps and big pulls would be good.

Great.
