Well, it should. We have staging for half-baked stuff.

I don't mind waiting for a driver that is held off because of missing
background support.

I *do* mind if y'all go merging all kinds of code that has never been
tested. Those who submit and their reviewers should ensure that the
code is actually working. Before buying hardware or starting projects,
I often check what is in mainline. I expect that mainline has been at
least minimally tested.

Maybe that is just me, or maybe people working on the ARM tree have
different expectations.

Thanks,
Richard
