Of course we won't want panic to remain 5.15, but that does not mean you
can't send pr for other patches. You can still send other pr later for
other rc's. If you will send pr late it might be that Linus will not
apply any of them because it will be too big pr for late rc. I'm sure he
will be resonable in first time because ntfs3 is new driver and will
accept pr in this case, but this cannot come habbit.

Normally rc cycle is for this kind of things. We fix things we broke
during merge window, but right now it is real danger that we introduce
many bugs because people cannot test ntfs3 because you hold on patches.
They belong to also to Linus tree not just to linux-next. Many user use
Linus tree and there are many who send good bug reports.

But do not take this too harsh. I'm just personally worried here. Also I
think you as maintainer had improved well in short time.
