Hmm ok, that seems like an odd choice, surely you'd want things in
for-next earlier rather than later? At least that's what everybody else
is doing.

Oh, it was just a comment on there not seeming to be any xfs changes for
6.15 in your for-next (or other branches) yet, which made me think that
perhaps I was looking in the wrong spot. This where I looked, fwiw:

https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux.git/

which does seem to have a few changes for 6.15, but really not much.
Maybe this is all normal for xfs?
