Heh, I do not work on kernels ;-)

Seriously, I think you are giving me a bit too much credit, but
I do agree that the tip of "master" tends to be very stable most
of the time.  This is especially true since some tagged releases
were followed up with immediate corrections for "oops, brown
paper bag" bugs in the past X-<.

But the tip of "master" contains dubious change from time to
time (for example, I still haven't sorted out your "log -z"
stuff, which is already in my tree).
