Doug,

Developers whose work depends on other people can't chase multiple 
branches. And they need not wait for the maintainer to be 110% sure that 
something is final. Our community is small enough to swallow rebases you 
would do if at some point a patch for the next kernel is replaced, etc.

As others companies we have here internal review (Gerrit), build and 
regression systems which are dependent on the open-source maintainers 
trees/branches (for example, Dave Miller's net and net-next trees and 
used to be also on Roland infiniband.git / for-next branch).  These 
branches must be well known in location and name.

Lets find a way to get things in that direction, for everyone's benefit.

Or.
