Christian mentioned a possible reason. I'll try to take a look later and see if I could find anything.

My gut instinct tells me we could get away without having to go this way but I haven't yet been able to figure out how. How 'prefix', 'super-prefix' and 'recursive-prefix' is still puzzling me. In case anyone has knowledge about this please chime in and enlighten us. It would be very helpful.

I think you don't have to wait until it lands on 'master'. Now that it is set to merge to 'next', I believe it should be fine for you to send the rest of the series to the list. Just make sure you mention the dependency of the series on the one you've already sent to the list.
