I am sorry I could not follow you there. So you are saying you have
fixes for chicken core which you seem to be worthy of including in
CHICKEN but want that to be part of CHICKEN-5. But that needs reworking
your patches, which you currently don't have energy for.

Am I reading this correctly?

Kind regards,
