There are two parts in this proposal, while second part (dependency) is fair enough and possible to meet, it is unclear to me the first part (apply cleanly). 1. On which branch should we send our topics? 2. Are you acknowledge that this branch is going to be updated +/- on daily basis? 3. How do you see us submitting multiple topics? Sequential submission - like DaveM, and it should be applied close to submissions (if no objections and so on ..). Or parallel submissions - like it is now and the conflicts are unavoidable. 4. If 2 and 3 are not going to change, should we wait till late rc and submit all (100+) patches at one or two shots to avoid merge conflicts? I would be glad to get the whole picture of submission process, before we are moving forward.
