So linux-next gets compile testing and warns about conflicts. But almost nobody really runs the end result.
Now, *hopefully* the compile problems and conflicts are the major issue, but at the same time, I worry about some actual subtle semantic breakage. I'm not sure how it would happen, but it's a big patch..

That would help. As would just linux-next. As would just after the next merge window closes, if you can send it almost immediately *and* have the "at least the patch has been around for a long time with no *known* breakage" note. Because at some point, I guess we can't do much more than that.
