Woah, nobody is saying to skip linux-next. It is Wednesday, if it
lands in the public tree today it will be in linux next probably for a
week before a PR is sent. This is a fairly normal thing for many trees
in Linux.
Linus is specifically complaining about people *entirely* skipping
linux-next.

I think Leon is only pointing out that a hard cut off two weeks before
the merge window even opens is a DRMism, not a kernel wide convention.
