Things change. LWN is reporting on Andrew's "Looking forward to 2.6.13"
post to LKML. From the context, it appears not everything mentioned as
mergeable will be in 2.6.13, but some will be, with others showing up
later. He is saying, however, that there's nothing serious holding items
he considers mergable up, so they'll be merged sooner rather than later,
whether "sooner" == .13 or .14 or whatever, more likely than .20, in any
case.
Reiser4 is considered mergeable, but with some caveats that might mean
post .13, still, it now looks to be .14 or .15-ish, rather than .20-ish,
provided egos don't get too far in the way, always a possibility with Hans
Reiser, it seems, unfortunately.
There are some other patches mentioned of significance, including
swsusp_SMP, which I've personally been waiting for, but I'll refrain from
mentioning any more, and just point to the LWN article with the whole list
and comments, plus references to the archive thread for more details.
