I have to say that I'd really like to keep the writeback tree as it is right now. We have a tree that has all the changes, goes in -next and gets merged right like it was in -next. That's the canonical model used for all other normal trees, and it works extremely well. > Sorry I overlooked the Acked-by/Reviewed-by principle, which is > definitely good practice to follow.
