Note: With French as my primary language, "anchor" is less clear to me than
blockers. However I trust native speaker to choose the right terms here.


"pinned revs" might also have worked. Anchor makes it clearer that they're
also holding up other revs (their ancestors), but that is also true for
other visible revs, so in a way "pinned" may be more accurate. What do you
(all) think?
