I guess it would also be useful to have some way to compare what's in -next with what's in the arm-soc tree and chase people if that diff gets big. I do also wonder if it's worth letting people push stuff to you more aggressively - right now you seem to be asking people to batch things up and I wonder if that's making it a it easier for things to end up dropping on the floor if a time based routine isn't working well for people. > end, samsung also did for the most part but not entirely and you were > unfortunate to be the contributor of the patches that missed out. It's not just me, I'm just vocal and perhaps more to the point spend a reasonable amount of time chasing stuff into various trees so want to figure out if I need to change what I'm doing with that.
