The python-updates branch is not a "development" branch in the sense of ci/README.md's classification. That's because it allows force pushes. When rewrites are possible, cherry-picking from this branch should not be allowed, because the commit references will potentially end up out of sync. These kind of branches are now termed "Work-in-Progress" branches. Up until recently these branches didn't work well for Pull Requests targeting them, because Eval wouldn't run on them with a push event and thus, Eval in the PR couldn't succeed either. That's now fixed, PRs towards *any* WIP branch should work correctly.
