This patch series amends the kernel development process to reduce the load on key maintainers during peak periods, by discouraging the submission of non-urgent patches while the merge window is open.
Original discussion here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/12/772
(As a non-subsystem-maintainer I don't really have a horse in this race, but if everyone else agrees that it's the right thing to do, we might as well make it the official policy and start teaching it to new developers.)
