I wasn't aware of linux-yocto breaking that often?

I am aware that:

* we have a race issue with shared_work which we're trying to resolve
  and its proving tricky to find a patch which doesn't break builds

* we have the newly reported issue in this thread. FWIW the builders 
  I've seen are all green

* there are some warnings in the build which need addressing

but on the most part I thought we'd caught the serious kernel failures
in advance of changes hitting master. Are you using master-next or
master? 

Its its -next, I can understand the problems more as that has been
unstable recently but then by its nature, it can be. We are rooting out
problems before master afaict though?

Cheers,
