Yes, cross-tree development is definitely a mode in which I can imagine
linux-next could be used as a base for actual code development (and
probably the only one which is justifiable).

Yeah, thanks.

As said already -- normally I don't accept staging bits at all (for a
reason), that was a mistake. Sorry for that.

Sure. I have already pushed out a tree with those reverted and will be
sending you the patches separately in a second.
