Agree to make a big deal part. My point is that when kicking trees of linux-next, it also could reduce the exposure of many patches (which could be bad) to linux-next and miss valuable early testing either from robots or human. Thus, the same mistakes could happen again because maintainers could simply push those little or none linux-next exposure patches to mainline with no restrictions. There is a balance to strike.
