Thanks, Jerry. I really do appreciate receiving your tag.
Not all, but a lot of subsystems, do not rebase their branch, at least
once it is in linux-next. Adding tags is considered rebasing. For
this reason, I've started staging patches in the next-integrity-
testing branch, before moving them to next-integrity.
thanks,
Mimi
