Please add something here that says this tree will be rebased often and
should only be used for testing CI systems to pull from.  It is a
snapshot in time of the stable-queue.git tree and will change
frequently.

In short, I really don't like people using this tree, but have provided
it for those CI systems that don't like dealing with quilt patches only.

I also constantly forget to push the release tags to it, as I'm reminded
frequently :)

thanks,
