Yep, I understand what you mean. I can't find the discussion from several 
years ago, but developers asked to be able to work with more current 
kernels, and I recall you saying that if you want to do this, merge to a 
specific -rc tag at least.

I'm not personally fussed either way, and if anyone cc'd has an opinion, 
please comment. Otherwise, I'll go back to merging to Linus only as 
necessary.
