My mental model was more like:

commit to apple (tracks master)
cherry-pick to apple-1.7 (tracks xserver-1.7-branch)

And then the treemeisters for master and xserver-1.7 would merge from
those.  Does require a little more diligence from the stable branch
maintainers to not merge things not already in master.
