We don't need Linus to yell, but there should definitely be consequences for any maintainer that pushes untested code to linux-next. At a bare minimum, all code that goes into linux-next should have passed 0day bot. Push code to a non-linux-next branch on kernel.org, wait a few days, if you don't get any reports that a bot caught something broken, you should be good to go (also you can opt-in to get reports on 0day success, which I do, to make that cycle even shorter). And that's a pretty low bar to have to pass. Ideally, all maintainers should have a set of tests they run before pushing anything to linux-next, or to Linus in the late -rcs. If you can't be bothered just to rely on at least 0day then you should not be a maintainer. -- Steve
