Maybe 10% of the patches I carry are based on changes which are in linux-next. Things like - tree-wide renames which need to catch other developers adding instances of the old name. They'll pop up in third-party testing and I do a last-minute grep to find these. - changes which I've worked with other developers to stage things in that order. - removal of duplicated includes for which I need to do a last-minute check that nobody has gone and removed the other include. - new syscalls which would generate a ton of conflicts with new syscalls in other trees. - right now I'm carrying a pile of little spelling fixes. I stage these after linux-next to find out whether other tree maintainers have independently merged the same patches, or partially similar ones from others. - etc. I send this sort of material to you very late in the merge window, after the prerequisites have been merged up.
