	Hi all,

Looking at today's http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/matrix/, there's
plenty of red, and not only in the linux-next division :-(

We still see regular merging of trivially breaking patches that
apparently never have been in linux-next...

Worse, we're seeing things getting merged that have been known-broken in
several linux-next incarnations during the last few weeks...

Now we have such a great thing like linux-next (thanks, Stephen! You
saved my day a lot lately), perhaps we should start making full use of
it?

Thanks!

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
