I've been exposing integration branches in the past, but after Linus'
message [0] I have my doubts now. I wonder if it wouldn't make more
sense if I just took the patches, and you'd cherry-pick them only in
case such a need occurs. This way we would avoid this whole merge
noise, which in an optimistic and very plausible case will not be needed
at all.
