Not withstanding the fact that I'm guilty of the baby-steps branch,  
in the majority of cases, I don't approve of branches -

I love getting an opportunity to plug that article :)

In this case, Konstantin has a potentially large change to merge  
back.  If I applied my change to trunk first, it will be quite hard  
for him.  He already has a moderate risk of not-completing his goal,  
it'll be worse if I go off in a divergent direction on trunk.
If Konstantin is as respectful (he's a 'good egg') he'll take a look  
at the patch and suggest that its mergeable after his change, or  
before it, or accomotate the same changes in his branch (chasing the  
JasonsTestCase 'specification')
