Please *DON’T* rewrite history like this. We can find other
solutions… such as developing 1.12.14 and up on a branch.

I don’t have individual patches right now, I would need to
craft them from the huge tree delta… and then, I can just
commit them.

Besides, -11 is ancient.

That would likely be welcome.

One more thing — someone suggested merging some unnamed fixes
from 1.11 into 1.12; if you can point them out to me for forward-
porting, that would be welcome (I don’t know what’s in 1.11 and
still needed in 1.12).
