Yes - especially when microAPI changes happen every day, as of 2.6. I've just downloaded a snapshot including the merge, so I'll be able to merge some little fixes which have happened since.
Do you think that keeping a UML tree for new, experimental features is a good idea, or that this role should go to -mm?
I ask this also because I don't know how much would help general review for new features.
For instance, the "hostfs" feature is in the middle of a rewrite and the new code is still very broken (the current release says more or less "VFS: busy inodes after unmount - self destroying in 5 seconds. Have a nice day", but maybe this is fixed; plus has a number of other bugs).
