I wasn't aware people were working on the staging branch. If the changes
are not very disruptive, perhaps we could merge it into core-updates.
Otherwise, I'd rather wait.

Also, until we have more powerful hardware running hydra.gnu.org, I
don't think we have the capacity to do staging branches right now.

We are barely able to keep the master branch built, and building
core-updates is frustratingly slow.

To illustrate, I started an evaluation of core-updates ~7 days ago, and
it is still not done building due to the under-powered armhf builders
and the need to juggle resources to build the master branch.
