Ok, I'll try to remember, but I probably won't. So it would be lovely
to be reminded when I get the arm pull.

That said, if it's just outright conflicts, that's not a big deal and
the resolution looks trivial. But if there are actual semantic
conflicts that don't show up during the merge like Ingo implies, I
would indeed not notice due to me not doing any cross-builds.
