We're talking about slightly different things there - I mean if we
will have to go through refreshes again in future, then IMHO it will
be easier if say, trivial bugfixes, are checked into mainline and
release branch at once. No need to search for them anymore, if need
arises.

However, I'm not 2.04 release manager nor 2.03 refresher, so my
opinion isn't backed by experience and might be wrong.

Well, I'm just used to it. If it will require too much effort, I'll
just give up it.
