Hey Stephen Question for you about a possible -next process change. Would it be reasonable to have some mechanism to script treewide patches to generate and apply after Andrew Morton's mmotm patches are applied to -next? This could allow treewide scripted patches to have compilation and test coverage before possibly being applied to Linus' tree. What would be necessary to allow this?
