I mean.. as I said using -rc tags makes sanity checking the PRs easier,
so definitely encouraged.
I was asking more about the second part of your sentence, what do you
mean by "shouldn't include only this patchset" ?
When I saw "be applied to net-mlx5 branch", I imagined some branch which
is based on net-rc and not on mlx5-next as usual. It looks like Saeed's
intention was to say mlx5-next, but he misspelled it.
I meant mlx5-next.
