I am outlining the fact that you confuse a problem and its solution. Problem: merging stuff upstream takes time to Dave Your solution: have lots of in-development trees and everyone upstreams its stuff which breaks other drivers and platforms A possible solution: everyone upstreams its stuff from a common tree which keeps other drivers and platforms working Maybe there are other solutions, I don't know. In any case, I would like to see a new model being agreed upon by the developers. I have not seen such an agreement yet.
