Agreed - really not understanding your point of view on this Howard, I have to assume there's some confusion or misconception on your part. Aside from the MESS merger, this is the same as it has been done behind the scenes 6 months ago, a year ago, even longer. If you weren't using it, then you were making your source patches against the U-releases - and that is still supported. It's just that: if you want to make your source patches against bleeding edge, and compile/test it with bleeding edge, now it's easier for you to do so.
