Periodic Merges (6h) #4371

	# This action periodically merges base branches into staging branches.
	# This is done to
	# * prevent conflicts or rather resolve them early
	# * make all potential breakage happen on the staging branch
	# * and make sure that all major rebuilds happen before the staging
	# branch get’s merged back into its base branch.
