I only created the l2-mtd.git 'next' branch recently because I don't
think linux-next likes to see new stuff during the merge window that's
not going into the current release cycle. So I just queued up stuff in a
different branch temporarily, and I plan to bring it into 'master' on
top of 3.13-rc1 once the merge window closes.

In answer to your second question, then, the inclusion of
l2-mtd.git/master in linux-next is exactly as intended.

I am new at this whole maintainership thing, though, and I could be very
wrong about the intended development process regarding linux-next and
the merge window. I couldn't find much clear documentation regarding
this process. I suppose it's something you learn over time. Any comments
are welcome.

Brian
