AFACIT none of these patches have ever been in linux-next. Half or more of them turned up on the mailing list for the first time two days ago and there's little evidence that anyone has even looked at them. If this doesn't mean "you missed 2.6.31" then what does? Yes, things like this can be messy and hard to develop and maintain outside the merge window. We understand this. There are special cases. But when this happens, let's talk about it and see what we can do! Please let's not pretend that this is an ordinary old git merge like all the others.
