It survives because it is well-known. Everyone expects it to
break. ocfs2 has an "ALL" branch that is everything we have working,
sort of a "test this bleeding edge" thing. It gets rebased all the
time, and everyone knows that they can't trust it to update linearly.
Other developers have similar things in their repositories.
