I'm busily merging 6.12 material while the 6.11 merge window is still
open.  That is Against The Rules, for good reasons - linux-next remains
the 6.11-rc1 candidate tree until the merge window ends.

So removing mm.git from -next is appropriate.  It'll be restored next week.

mm-unstable remains a suitable base for ongoing work.
