I guess the main question is how often does Len pull from your tree?
If the delay is longer than few days, it might make sense to put your
tree directly into linux-next for early integration. And as long as
you don't rebase the "for-next" branch and keep it append-only, there
isn't going to be any conflicts either when Len pulls your tree and
publishes the result in linux-next.
