My gut feeling is that everything on master is relevant to Emacs 25.2,
and therefore we should probably start a new branch, called emacs-25.2
or some such, forking it off master.  Trying to go through the changes
deciding which ones are worthy of cherry-picking is IMO a waster of
our time, as no AFAIR major features were pushed to master that would
be inappropriate for 25.2.

Alternatively, we could decide that 25.2 will be a bugfix only
release, in which case none of the changes on master should be in it,
only bugs that will be reported hence about the released version.

My $0.20, anyway.
