I am almost committed to this idea, and this is an advance notice that 'next' will be rebuilt on the tip of 'master' soon.

When that happens, I'll announce the commit object name for the old 'next' and the corresponding new one, to make rebasing easier for people who have been following and building on top of it.

For tonight's tree, the tip of 'next' is at 547b1cb (Merge branch 'master' into next) and its tree matches 26f14cc (Merge branch 'js/reflog-delete' into next) that is part of 'pu'.
