Not really. It's there to provide a pre-merged branch for people to
test. But, I've rarely seen a release cycle where, *sometime*, we
didn't get a patch set in the for-next that depends on changes in the
for-rc area, and in that case, you need to merge for-rc into for-next.
If we don't have that this cycle, then you're right, I won't merge for-
rc into for-next and for-testing will be the throwaway merge branch. On
occasion, if the merge fixups needed between for-rc and for-next get too
difficult for a non-RDMA person to sus out, then we will do a merge of
for-rc into for-next simply so we can provide the right merge fixup, but
I doubt this merge fixup rises to that level.
