one thing that you have missed in your explination in this thread 
(although you have made the point in other threads) is that subsystem 
maintainers have the fear that there are other changes that will interfere 
with their stuff and want to catch it early.

per your instructions in prior threads, what they should do is to have a 
seperate branch on their system that they use as a throw-away branch to 
pull from your tree, and from their tree to spot problems. As they find 
problems they can then address them (cherry pick, or whatever)

so it's not that the ALSA people should only look at your tree at the 
merge points, it's that they shouldn't pollute their tree that they are 
going to publish to you with this checking.
