Stefan,
we are supposed to be on a 2-month release cycle, with all major
changes going in in the first two weeks of that cycle. This timeframe
doesn't leave you any noticable time to implement your steps seperatly
(and zero testing between them). as a result, in practice your proposal
amounts to a big-bang approach, and/or results in releases that are
known-broken.
Experimental branches of subsystems usually cannot (nor need to) be
bound to a release cycle.
and while you suggest putting this in -mm, remember that the -mm kernel
needs to be useable so that people can test it, and it is on the same
schedule as the main kernel so again you can't have known-broken things
(of this scale) there either.
I assumed there would be a few unmaintained bits (of marginal "scale")
left which could not be updated, but it seems now that won't be the
case.
