Hi Stephen,

I try to keep the tree completely non-rebasing, as people are actually 
using it for development. But for-next is a bit special in this respect, 
and if there is a branch that could potentially be considered for 
ocasional rebasing, it's probably for-next one.

OTOH, what issues exactly are the extra merges causing for you please?

Ok, this is pretty odd. I'll look into what happened, it'll be resolved in 
a couple minutes, so please start pulling for-next again.
