Yes, if you meant "apply as-is" by "merge it". No, if you meant "apply after an initial round of sanity checks, even if it is not perfect".

I was hoping that with this approach, in a week after you sent out your call-for-help-in-testing, you could send a version for inclusion with a commit log message that says "tested on X (by Foo), Y (by Bar),...", with the patch text that is exactly the same as what people tested. The point is not to make that list of platforms exhaustive, but at least make it a bit more than "works for me".

And I think that plan has worked well.
