I'm still hoping that distros (like my employer) and orgs like OSDL will step up, and hook 2.6.x BK snapshots into daily test harnesses.
Something like John Cherry's reports to lkml on warnings and errors would be darned useful. His reports are IMO an ideal model: show day-to-day _changes_ in test results. Don't just dump a huge list of testsuite results, results which are often clogged with expected failures and testsuite bug noise.
