No need to rush, but should I expect a reroll of this sometime, or
have things around this topic changed to make this topic no longer
necessary? I am only asking so that I can decide to either keep or
drop ld/p4-detached-head topic that is listed in the [Stalled]
section for quite some time [*1*].
Thanks.
[Footnote]
*1* Not that my dropping a topic from 'pu' means very much; a
dropped topic can still be submitted and requeued after all.
