I was coming at it from the viewpoint of linux-next itself, where HEAD is rebuilt
nightly and thus is not stable. The inputs are stable, just not the merge commit.

Not really? It's not a staging area, it really is the branch that contains the
changes for the "next" kernel.
What if I drop the above guidance and instead push a date-stamped tag when pushing
to 'next'? That should ensure the base is reachable for everyone, and would also
provide a paper trail for what I've done, which is probably a good idea regardless.
