I have a 13 hour test suite that I run before pushing anything. And since
it's going into the rc release, any merge conflict that happens in next is
likely something that isn't even applicable for Linus's tree. Sure, it will
need to be addressed in the next merge window, but that would have been
found after getting in Linus's tree anyway, because really a fix to Linus's
tree should have no merge conflicts.
