The patches in my next queue are fully reviewed and (should) have seen at least basic testing. The additional QA on top is just normal regression testing and about every 2 weeks a manual testing cycle for things like hotplug on the bazillion configurations we support (since that takes our QA team about 1 week to complete we can't do higher frequency there). The reason we've put that next queue buffer into place was that before the pulls to Dave received essentially 0 testing from our QA, resulting in lots more regressions slipping through. -next-queued is also what I run here on all my machines and what patch development is usually based on for drm/i915.
