Here's the process:
A) hack on the branch
B) Decide that feature foo is ready for release (i.e. won't destabilise
HEAD, and is not going to change in such a fashion as to break ABI in
the future.
C) Submit a patch, based on the HEAD->branch delta, to implement foo in
HEAD, whilst leaving all alpha and beta code in the branch.

Most would be 100% happy IMO. The debug consolidation one, I've got some
longer term ideas as discussed, but is probably 100% ok as well.

Nope. Just fine.
