Hi all,
Looking at today's http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/matrix/, there's plenty of red, and not only in the linux-next division :-(

We still see regular merging of trivially breaking patches that apparently never have been in linux-next...

Worse, we're seeing things getting merged that have been known-broken in several linux-next incarnations during the last few weeks...
Now we have such a great thing like linux-next (thanks, Stephen! You saved my day a lot lately), perhaps we should start making full use of it?
Thanks!
Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
