Most of the time the patches are decoupled from the rest of the tree and the final linux-next kernel is the same regardless of where the quilt tree is attached. I maintain a single sequence of patches where the ones ready for upstream float up to the top and the linux-next export is a by-product and not the primary output. Anyway, like I say, we'll be changing things during the next couple of cycles and we'll bear your suggestions in mind.
