Sure, provided it's also tested on non-x86 architectures as well.
At the moment, someone did a "clean up" of linux/tty.h includes which has broken the 99% of the ARM defconfigs, and despite this patch being in -mm and allegedly fixed by akpm for ARM, the result is still massive breakage.
Hence, -mm is probably far too different from mainline for include cleanups to be properly tested before they're sent to Linus - iow they need an additional level of testing against Linus' tree _prior_ to being submitted to Linus.
Apart from that, I've no problem with anyone who wants to clean up the include mess.
