Sorry Daniel but you never proved to me that your version didn't break
anything. I'm not about to start with something that throws out all the
archs, espically when Thomas has a port of another arch ready for me.
But you still need to show that it didn't brake anything, which you have
not.
I'll admit I would like a bisectable tree, and patches that are submitted
are bisectable. But the patches are also moved around a bit to get
the queue ready for mainline. That moving itself can break the
bisectability of later patches.
Patches that come in now are usually simple fixes. Major developments are
bisectable.
Fine, produce your own tree, I'll produce mine.
There is some benefits, but one thing you forget about the -rt patch, is
that there's lots of variables. A lot of bugs that I found in -rt is not
about a bad patch, but usually because of the way rt works (preemptible
spinlocks and interrupts as threads) that cause breakage, and a lot of
that breakage is from a change in upstream, not the patch series. Having
it bisectable doesn't always help.
