Yes, it doesn't have to be all pushed upstream for it to be used. It's just
a question of how big the out-of-upstream patchset is that Jeremy has to
manage. And actually there's maintenance work even with the upstreamed
patches, of course. But none of that directly matters for consumers of
Jeremy's tree.

No, of course it doesn't. The problem is, Jeremy's tree is very much a
moving target as he works to produce patches that upstream will accept.

Well, that might be fixable without too much effort. Maybe jeremy could simply branch off a stable branch for 2.6.30 before rebasing to 2.6.31-rc1? Just to have something people can pull which is not based on some -rc bleeding edge kernel? That branch wouldn't get updates, except maybe for cherry-picked bugfixes, maybe also 2.6.30.x stable patches if they apply cleanly. Development would still happen in the xen-next + xen-master branches of course.
