@broonie will "provide backup coverage" during that time (see replies for details).

@kernellogger Makes me question if it's a good idea to let one person be responsible for maintaining this tree while it's often meant to be used for basing your new changes on to not conflict with other changes that will be merged.
And I think also for (automated) testing it's very commonly used.

@z3ntu

There were times when somebody else stepped in. Not sure if that will be the case here (I assume otherwise Stephen would have mentioned this).

But well, that's how it is with the kernel, as it's development ist not driven by some "foundation"[1] that hires people to do task like this (for docs, bug triaging, and a few other things this is a problem as well).

[1] but those have downsides, too!

@kernellogger @z3ntu Please note that the employer of the linux-next maintainer graciously allows them to do this work on company time because they value it. Perhaps other companies should also allow their developers to help out with this (note, at least one does, so Stephen isn't always alone here)

And we are allowed, and in some places, required, to go on vacation, so a few weeks off isn't going to really stall anything, we all have other ways of testing integrations, so don't worry :)

@gregkh @kernellogger @z3ntu Yup, when I provide cover it’s work time and I borrow a big aarch64 build machine we have to do the actual builds.
