Dunno if this is a glitch or real problem. But it reminds me - I see
there is direct wireless -> wireless-next merge without going via
Linus's tree. I think you may have mentioned it to us, but not sure
if I said this clearly - let's try to avoid such merges. Linus certainly
doesn't like when we do net -> net-next merges without sending net to
him first and forwarding. I'm not 100% sure why (maybe Steven knows)
- whether it's an aesthetic thing or avoiding real issues thing, but
either way it's _a_ thing :S
