Ahh, yes, and IMHO this actually happens much more that you'd believe.
It's why the CI grid testing we do on master is SOOOOOO important.
It's important, and it's not enough. The main benefit of an "automatic
next generator" would be to catch this _before_ it hits master, and
ensure that master is always a good spot for development, without having
to revert buggy series on top.

Well no script can guarantee that.
No, but it can lay the grounds for continuous integration.
1) classic review process, when 2 acks are given, instead of applying
the test, we can set label to "READY"
2) every $TIME_UNIT checker would download all READY patches and apply
them on top of master and run extended set of tests. On PASS it would
update the master automatically.
so the merge button would not be used anymore and before update the
master would be extensively tested.
The cons of this solution is, that one nasty "READY" patch could ruin
whole merge. Also it kind-off substitutes the tagged version which Lucas
does for each stable release.
Yes, this is why I think it's preferrable for CI testing to be done
before the patches are reviewed.
