    I do randconfigs on -mm and linux-next. I report most* of the
    build problems ... and as far as I can tell, they are mostly
    ignored (especially in linux-next).

    *: I don't report Voyager/Visual WS/NUMA-Q build errors.
    Maybe they will just disappear one day.
    I also don't report drivers/media/ build errors. They are too easy
    to reproduce. :(

    IMO having -mm and linux-next is a diluting factor+. They dilute
    both build and boot testing of the other one and of mainline
    -rcs. Yes, they have their purposes, but it would be Very Good
    if we could get to the point of having -mm built on top of
    linux-next (e.g.) instead of it just being a separate tree.

    +: Yes, there are other diluting factors, like having over 100 git
    trees that someone may potentially request testing of.
