People do > run it, but I wonder how many.. Well, I'm not running it because it's got too much garbage in it, which makes it a pretty unrealistic testbed. And to make matters worse, I also stay away from rc's as a consequence. To make -mm more viable, it may be advisable to restructure -mm in such a way as to be a Kconfig option to mainline. This would probably involve some patch management functionality to apply experimental submissions on a per-patch basis, as opposed to being a 'take it or leave it slam onto mainline' patch.
