Description

Don't build when we merge staging-next or staging into, say. master. Checking evaluation is still a good thing, though.

Example:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/45643

Research direction

Start by comparing the merge behavior described for staging and staging-next with the example in nixpkgs PR #45643. Trace the ofborg path that decides whether to build or only evaluate. Done means merges from those branches skip builds while evaluation still runs.
