FYI keyctl09 [1] patch is a candidate for merging under this policy. Cyril wasn't sure [2] that we haven't agreed yet about how this should be handled. Not sure what exactly is he missing. I guess the description is quite open to allow testing both tests in next tree or even in maintainer tree (before endup in next tree). From my point it should be obvious that not *anything* out of mainline can be added, just tests which sooner or later endup in mainline (and if not, they should be deleted). Also procedure after release is pretty clear: just move everything out of staging to expected runtest files (mostly syscalls). => I'd merge this.
