I much prefer branches against one of Linus' release points than some
point in someone elses tree - unless, of course, there are dependencies
that need to be solved (which means there should be something in the
pull request explaining that.)

If it conflicts with something I have in my tree, then that's generally
not a problem unless the conflict is horrid, at which point it can be
discussed.
