But I don't want to send that many conflicts to Linus.

What we need to do is generate the patch just after 4.11-rc1 is out,
that way there should be zero skew between my fixes/next and Linus'

remember.

So Andrew if you can remember to do it then that would be awesome :)

Actually at the bottom would make more sense I think, that's where
people will try to add new ones.
