I'm sorry that my work wastes (!) build power.

About a month ago, the branch was already ready to be merged, but it
never[¹] got the chance to be allocated the few CPU cycles necessary to
start building something. I doubt it did waste anything because I hardly
got any feedback from QA since the request for merging was issued.

As the situation wasn't moving, I resumed my work on the branch. There
are some more commits to come, indeed, but I expect the last steps to be
done in the following days.

If your suggestion means the branch will have to wait more months before
being merged, I dislike it. The branch will be ready in a few days. What
is done with this branch does not belong to me.

Regards,

[¹] Actually, it happened once, but for some reason, builds stopped.
