Ok, but I was thinking of allowing a more selective approach. First, break
out an mm snapshot that only contain patch-sets that are deemed stable, but
still not ready for rc. Then, a tool may allow to selectively apply a
specific patch-set against the latest stable kernel, not the rc. This could
possibly improve longer-term testing, instead of just relying on crunch-time
rc testing.
Thanks!
