The patches in -mm spend 90% of their time in an untested, often-doesn't-compile state. It's only in the 24-48 hours preceding a release that I actually start build- and run-time testing it all. > The only way now seems to check the mm-commits list.

Then it's trivial to install mm-of-the-day as a quilt series. Let me know how it goes..
