I am still a little confused with the whole process myself, but
I do want to say one thing.
The procedure is probably "different" from what we are used to,
but there must have been reasons why it was introduced, and from
what I read there wasn't much time... although I would hope that
stable is not been done in a rush for the sole purpose of
getting the lastest feature. After all it is supposed to be
"stable". 

I think we should try to stick to constructive criticism.

The one thing I am still unclear is where would one make
changes?
I used to make a copy of GENERIC and work on that. What do we
need to change now?
