[Developers] Repeated merge tasks?

[Gordon Mackenzie]

To Dev list:

We are implementing a change to the pipeline sometime this afternoon  
to simplify to a single default type of merge vote presentation in  
pipeline and hopefully prevent any merge vote repeats in future.

Result will be that all merge tasks will, for now, present as the left- 
right-skip-don't merge choice. Remember that the left-right win  
indicates to the system that that side's unique properties (such as  
name of topic, article description, etc.) will be used in preference  
over the losing side's in the merging process (non-unique properties  
will simply be appended of course).

Please let us know if you encounter any difficulties with this change.
