Apologies on not being clear: in the upstream world, two kernels are of significant importance: 1. origin git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git obviously.. 2. linux-next git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git This one is a daily integration tree of every maintainer tree - towards a merge window this tends to represent approximately how the next linux kernel rc1 will look like -> for example next-20140131 is today's linux-next tag. It is pretty close to what v3.14-rc1 will eventually look like -> ofcourse things are changing continually in various maintainer branches, and keeping an eye on daily status is of interest to folks. kernel.org tag (or tags in torvald's tree) such as v3.13-rc1, ... 3.13, upcoming 3.14-rc1 etc are the baselines we really want to ensure working and feature rich. in order to do that, ensuring every such tag (including rcs) be regularly monitored to ensure things are good and report issues. I mean, even if folks dont have a daily cronjob (similar to what I have for 15 boards), it is still nice to get regular pokes on linux-omap mailing list asking for status of certain features like how Robert did for 1GHz. that keeps the rest of us ensuring things work for everyone else folks start thinking that these platforms are not of significant interest and tend to feature-rot(die out) over time..
