I'm trying to understand how Linux Kernel development works and reading the
relevant documentation at
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/2.Process.html
So there is the so called next-tree accumulating all the patches from all the
subsystems ready for merge and the mainline tree. The thing is the merge-window
is opened for 2 weeks (as mentioned in the linked documentation) and as far as
I understood all the changes will be merged into the mainline.
But looking through the next-tree I found some implementation in Rust
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/log/rust
which is much older than 2 months.
How is that happened that after a few merge windows (4 if I counted correctly)
it's still not merged?
Thank you!
