Two weeks seems excessive but having them there for a -next build means the automated stuff has a chance to kick in which is 90% of what -next gives us in terms of quality. The benefit does depend on how likely the change is to be affected by system/platform/config specific issues. Indeed depending on the bug having things forced to sit in -next for too long can be a real problem - I've had people refusing to fix build errors in Linus' tree for a week as they wanted things to cook in -next which took out automated testing of Linus' tree (and anything that merged it) for the duration. --DtQHZAESxiuiGOEK Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJVpOh+AAoJECTWi3JdVIfQ7LUH/33y8yjWVGKI2SvLKfUMJjEk 9bQsrQBYDZ3adRmYvCQ/jYOlJuBNJ79/fRxJCX1+C4K7xG6ATkL4Pq/RHOwZwxdk yssiJ8F70JJ8z74hrxo599t5iRBIReiYHCqAfQe8Z797++9puxgm4leZjOdl0nkM /KbYSYSfDYEqwC307Cq0w8eveBiwKlwLlIo+zsw6fy03xtKNk4FmsRnZyLnQogOW mP6zDjXu5BPrhWfsvCYir9HCPAWbwCkSHJrKQjB2idJA5y9P1yKktBS2+HTllnDK r8WtQ7Qp3Ptl1YXybOR0dQqitOsZ6Lo7O0XPF5dYmrpzONQPB1BEf5jnzP435MA= =faXT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --DtQHZAESxiuiGOEK--
