  Umm, I thought we ultimately still push changes through Andrew? I don't
mind pushing them directly but I'm not sure e.g. Andrew is aware of this.

I'll happily send patches to Andrew Morton if he would like to take
care of the mess :) In particular Andrew should still carry the
writeback changes that may interact or conflict with the -mm tree.

I have to say that I'd really like to keep the writeback tree as it is
right now.  We have a tree that has all the changes, goes in -next and
gets merged right like it was in -next.  That's the canonical model used
for all other normal trees, and it works extremely well.

Sorry I overlooked the Acked-by/Reviewed-by principle, which is
definitely good practice to follow. However given that Linus has
merged the patches and they do look like pretty safe changes, we may
consider watch and improve the algorithms based on them.

Yes, absolutely.
