Well, for some definition of stable. Right now it's just a topic branch that is merged into the for-next branch, so in theory it is still just a set of pending changes in a branch in a repo that has been pushed to linux-next for testing. That said, I don't see that branch changing unless we find bugs in the code or a problem with the API needs fixing, at which point I would add more commits to it and rebase the for-next branch that you are pulling into the linux-next tree. Realistically, I'm waiting for Lukas to repost his other pending fallocate changes (the zero range changes) so I can pull the VFS and XFS bits of that into the XFS tree and I can test them together before I'll call the xfs-collapse-range stable and ready to be merged into some other tree...
