Does this patch series depend on certain topics in 'next'? If not, please base it on 'master' instead. This will allow it to graduate from 'seen' to 'next' and eventually 'master' without being held back by any other topics in flight. On the other hand, if it does depend upon some topic in 'next', then it is a good idea to specify which specific topics it needs. That way, your patches will be able to graduate after those specific topics graduate rather than having to wait until _all_ of 'next' graduates (which could take forever).
