Thank you!  We'll be sure we include things in -next well beforehand next 
time around, especially if it's a big diff like this one.

One point of clarification, though: in the past I've squashed down fixes 
discovered during testing if the branch hasn't hit a stable tree yet 
(e.g., your tree).  AIUI this is(was?) standard procedure for things in 
-next.  Do you want us to avoid squashing if we are creeping up on pull 
request time, or are you primarily interested in, say, seeing that what 
has been in -next for a while is substantially the same as what you pull, 
and has perhaps been there unmodified for at least a few days?  Or would 
you rather see fixup patches if we identify issues in the last few days of 
testing?

Thanks-
