You completely mis-understand.

If something isn't appropriate for the merge window, then it sure as
HELL isn't appropriate for later rc's either.

So I'm not going to pull some "stragglers" later and just pull some
initial stuff now. That's not how this works.

The changes for the merge window should have been ready *before* the
merge window even opened. That has always been the rule. We don't do
random development and re-organization during the merge window, and we
certainly do not do it *later*.

I'm going to pull this reduced set, but that in no way means that I
will then pull later sets after the merge window.  The stuff after the
merge window should be pure fixes, and I'm in fact going to be
stricter with btrfs than usual, because I think this was such a
disaster. Oopses, regressions, data corruption, security fixes, and
things like that *only*. No cleanups, no random crap, nothing that
doesn't count as critical.
