That idea was spectacularly short lived :/ Assuming -rc2 fixes the
swapfile bug, I'll plan on rebasing both -next branches to -rc2 early
next week. This should have zero impact on the audit tree (audit/next
is current empty), and a minimal impact on the selinux/next branch as
we only have one small patch in there at the moment.
Well, it appears you are far from the only subsystem maintainer doing
that for this cycle.
If for some reason this causes anyone a problem due to merge
conflicts, you can still submit your patches (assuming they apply
cleanly to the stable-5.12 branch) and I'll take care of the conflict.
Thanks for your understanding.
