I'm trying to understand how Linux Kernel development works and reading the relevant documentation at https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/2.Process.html <https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/2.Process.html>
So there is the so called next-tree accumulating all the patches from all the subsystems ready for merge and the mainline tree. The thing is the merge-window is opened for 2 weeks (as mentioned in the linked documentation) and as far as I understood all the changes will be merged into the mainline.
The main purpose of the -next tree is to identify (and solve) merge issues (way) before the merge window so that there is less stress and chaos in the merge window.
