Thanks for reminding about that. I am not that keen of early rc's
because there is a higher risk to catch instability in unexpected
places. Normally I wait for rc2 or newer kernel is released in order
to rebase onto that mainline kernel. I am using the Linus' master
because most of time I get to develop and submit patchsets for several
subsystems concurrently (currently it's PCIe, EDAC, net and MIPS-arch)
and having them rebased on top of each subsystem' next-branch would be
even more risky. Of course I understand that the subsystem main/topic
branches may have some conflicting changes. So normally I make sure
that the submitted changes are applicable against the subsystem trees
if/when it's necessary. (Can't deny though I forget to do that from
time to time.)
