I'm not sure what the exact rules are for net-next. We had some glitches this time around, IMHO. Here is what I have in mind for the next merge window but note that I haven't had a chance to discuss it with Dave yet, so it's more of me blabbering at this point than a plan: - net-next would not apply patches posted after Linus cuts final; - make sure all trees feeding net-next submit their changes around rc6 time so that we don't get a large code dump right as the merge window opens; - any last minute net-next PRs should be ready by Monday night PST; - we'd give the tree one day to settle, have build issues reported etc and submit PR on Wednesday. If we go with a more structured timeline along these lines I'll try to send reminders.
