well:
0.9.16 is feature-frozen, which is OK. This includes a ban on any database
change (if if it's more a bugfix than a feature).

So we can't possibly submit anything to 0.9.16 or even commit ourselves.

HEAD is not in a working state, worse: it's in an undefined state. So we
can't really commit anything there which is based on 0.9.16 code (which is
newer than HEAD code).

So we don't really have a target to commit into.

We would urgently need a real development branch, where developments based
on 0.9.16 can be submitted to. Obviously, everything worth salvaging from
the current HEAD should be included there as well.

at the moment, there is a strict feature freeze for 0.9.16, may it be minor
or major changes. And this is OK, otherwise this version will still be
called 0.9.16 in ten years time...

not really, I'm afraid.
