Right -- cognitive load is a factor here.

The nice thing about the 'quickfixes' branch (as currently documented)
is that you use it the same way you'd use any other feature or bugfix
branch.  This allows the developer to form safe habits.  Mixing methods
increases the risk of something icky happening.

(I'm not saying we can't document other workflows; I'm just trying to
point out all the reasoning behind the workflow currently documented, so
we don't travel the same road many times.)
