We have hourly snapshots, thanks to the work David Woodhouse and
Rik van Riel did at a moments notice. Does this satisfy your
concerns above?

I have a suspicion that the problem of conflicting obvious fixes
won't go away.

There's another interesting twist here... - I didn't see any of them on
linux-kernel.

I'm a BK user! GNU patches are being submitted behind my back without
discussion on linux-kernel. I'm going to remove the SubmittingPatches
document! It's harming discussion of patches on linux-kernel.
