I am. The trouble with basing your patches against -next is that it's
not stable, in that it is rebuilt every day. If your patches are
dependant on commits which haven't reached Mainline yet, then you
should rebase on the subsystem tree which they are contained in. All
patches in -next should be based on an -rc or a released kernel version.
