    Hey Stephen

    Question for you about a possible -next process change.

    Would it be reasonable to have some mechanism to script
    treewide patches to generate and apply after Andrew Morton's
    mmotm patches are applied to -next?

    This could allow treewide scripted patches to have
    compilation and test coverage before possibly being
    applied to Linus' tree.

    What would be necessary to allow this?
