On the other hand, this makes me worry who is testing on linux-next every day. The worst nightmare I am having right now is some maintainers pick up commits that only have been in -next for a few days and then push to the mainline but then it is becoming my burden to fix those commits in case they introduced regressions because it is much harder to revert patches once in mainline.

Kicking out of trees in linux-next on the other hand could make the situation worst unless we have a counter solution that make sure commits must be in -next for a certain time (a month?) before merged in mainline.
