  The  point  is  a merge (moving the new rendering from grows to
main).  When  this  happens,  a  bug is _not_ regarded as a merge
stopper when it also shows in the main repo (as the bug proves to
be preexistent and not introduced by the new code).

  That's why core-devs are testing the branch as much as they can
before  giving the green light. Just checking no easily spottable
bugs sneak into the main repo before the merge.

  Of  course some bugs can make it into it undetected, but those,
after the merge, are regarded as normal bugs thereon.
