OK, so this missed the SCSI cutoff window because the series wasn't finalised until 17 March and, originally, I thought Linus would cut us off at -rc7 which was 16 March. In reality we got an extra week, but I spent that ironing out a few late arriving bugs in the tree itself rather than integrating features. For drivers, I'm willing to buck the release protocols a bit because they're self contained, but for core features, they are supposed to be all finalised by -rc5. Plus Linus bites me every time I do it even for drivers, so I was actually letting the scars heal a bit. I also don't see this in linux-next, unless I'm not looking in the right place, so it would be a bit of a risk adding it just before -rc1.
