I'm pretty convinced that linux-next is very useful as integration
testing. On numerous occasions I learn of conflicts that will impact me
for the merge window, and Stephen is great at providing merge fixes that
helps everybody out. I'm much less convinced that it's useful for
runtime testing. It's extremely rare that I get a bug report on
linux-next, whereas I get them after patches have been merged into
Linus's tree all the time. Nobody is going to be running that
pending-fixes branch.
