I don't see why scripts that don't *in themselves* change the output
binaries need to wait for .36.  Instead, it would be better to get them
in sooner to make them available to developers in advance of the .36 cycle.

Of course, I'm not Linus, and I don't see him Cc:'d on this, but that
would be the normal rules.
