Oh contraire.  Because we networking folks use a seperate mailing list
with a lower signal to noise ratio than lkml, and as a result more
specialization, more patches get more review by more specialists.

It's the point I'm trying to make every time the "post everything to
lkml" argument gets fronted.

Telling me to review all of this crud just ignores the problem.  And
the implication is that it's OK for unreviewed patches to go into the
tree, and it's most certainly not.

You might want to know that linux-next mainly exists because of how
much of this has been going on over the past half year or so.
