I don't - no one in their right mind does.  linux-next is not a tree
which should ever be pulled into any other git tree to base work upon
- it's completely unstable and you can't rely on any commit in there
remaining.  The merge commits between each tree are also specific to
linux-next only.

Linus will also refuse to pull any tree which has linux-next merged
into it.

Where a tree is hosted has no influence on whether its 'temporary' or
not.

That's what I'm saying - I can't take the patch as it introduces bugs
if I do.  It's better to either wait until after the next merge window,
or we have to sort out merging it via the mmc tree instead.
