As discussed in another thread, these are the first trials of sub-trees. We could adjust the workflow step by step when walking. The idea is to make pull requests during first phases but last patches during -rc phase would probably be directly integrated into the main repository. This sub-tree could provide a convenient source for testers before pushing into the main tree. Intel expressed an interest in trying this workflow. Stephen (Brocade) needs it to work on first public version of their PMDs. -- Thomas
