I'm not really opposed to any of your objectives. What it sounds like is
that you have a "stable" branch, and an "unstable" branch. Both branches
are in linux-next , and we're seeing conflicts from the unstable one. Is
that accurate?

I think we can deal with the issues as long as you have one branch that
you don't rebase, and things eventually move into that branch. So if we
have a conflict then we can base our tree on your stable branch , and
have confidence that your not rebasing it, or merge that into our tree.

I think the problem is that when you say your rebase it's not clear if
your rebasing all your branches, or if you only rebasing one unstable
branch..
