most of the -tip topics (there are 75 of them currently) are present 
in linux-next - about ~70% of all -tip commits are in linux-next 
already. The stuff that is not in linux-next yet is either because 
it's: miscellany fixes (i.e. intentionally grabbed out-of-tree to 
make our tests work better), not cooked enough yet, or because we 
are still working it out - tip is less than a month old still.

in general the rule is that if there's anything we want to push 
upstream, it will show up in linux-next.

I don't think it's a good idea for you guys to be off working on 
2.6.28 material when we're trying to stabilise 2.6.25, 2.6.26 and 
preparing for 2.6.27.

What's especially regrettable is that, afaik, you are expending 
testing resources on a tree which nobody will ever run rather than 
upon the tree which everyone _will_ run :( [...]

what do you mean? We are testing commits that everybody will run and are 
pre-filtering them for sanity and stability before they hit linux-next.
