As I always say, don't read too much into being in 'seen'. I can try queuing them only to see how bad a conflict I should anticipate when the time comes and forget to remove it by mistake.

No, I did mean the comment on this topic, and the readiness one that depends on it. While -9 is not yet in 'next', having three interdependent topics on top of it is just asking for reviewer fatigue, and that picking up this topic was the beginning of the issue. I should probably have waited for one more cycle and spent my time more on making sure -9 was in good shape and merge it down to 'next' before touching them.
