There are quite a lot of patches here which belong in subsystem trees. I'll patchbomb the relevant maintainers soon. Could I pleeeeeze ask that
they either merge the patches or solidly nack them (with reasons)?  Don't
just ignore it all and leave me hanging onto this stuff for ever.  Thanks.

I know this is probably heresy, but what would happen if we didn't merge all that stuff at once, and then committed to having a real 4-week cycle?

The cycles seem to be stretching out again, and I don't really think it's worth it to hold up the entire kernel for every single piddly little regression to get fixed. We'll _never_ be perfect, even if we weren't slackers.
