I think Andrew said he intends to get most of -mm into linux-next
as soon in the next release cycle.  So this may not be a long term
problem.

The classic challenge is that we really need most of the patches to go
through other maintainers because they are not for subsystems we
maintain.  So I am fairly certain things like our network namespace
work will show up in linux-next because they show up in net-next-2.6.
