I usually answer manually in this case but I might have forgotten. About the patch, I felt it was good enough for merging, and I want to avoid applying such patches right before freezing our branches. Hence, I tend to be more aggressive earlier in the release cycles because I hate when my patches get delayed infinitely. The other side is a more careful approach when -rc6 gets tagged so that I can drop anything which would be crazily broken before our -next branches are stalled, leading for an useless public revert. Of course, I am fully open to removing this patch from -next if you ever feel it was too early and will happily get rid of it for this release: we can move the patch for the next release if you agree on this (especially since it touches the ABI).
