I know that in the past, Thomas was keeping a BKL tree in tip, but not sure if he is still doing so. It seems that Arnd's tree is at least partially experimental, so I wonder if we need to maintain another BKL tree somewhere of fixes that have no obvious maintainer, but are ready to send to Linus for inclusion?
For fixes that have obvious maintainers though, I would just rather go through the normal route.
