Thank you! We'll be sure we include things in -next well beforehand next time around, especially if it's a big diff like this one. One point of clarification, though: in the past I've squashed down fixes discovered during testing if the branch hasn't hit a stable tree yet (e.g., your tree). AIUI this is(was?) standard procedure for things in -next. Do you want us to avoid squashing if we are creeping up on pull request time, or are you primarily interested in, say, seeing that what has been in -next for a while is substantially the same as what you pull, and has perhaps been there unmodified for at least a few days? Or would you rather see fixup patches if we identify issues in the last few days of testing?
