Well, the fact that the compile failure wasn't detected before it went upstream should answer that ... But to be more specific: linux-next is our integration tree (and also the obscure architecture compile tree). To ensure the best possible integration, every tree should be built and tested in linux-next at least once before it goes to Linus. There were originally technical reasons why -mm wasn't in ... I just thought they'd been fixed by now.
