I plan to maintain such a branch, but I thought I would base the
for-next branch on top of it, so that you get everything in one pack. Or
would you still prefer to have two kbuild branches in linux-next, so
that you can remove the for-next branch if necessary and keep the
for-current branch? Just tell me what fits you best.

OK, will keep that in mind.
