As a long time kernel tester, I see some problem with the newer "new development model". In the short merge windows, after to much time, there are to many patches.
I think the root issue there is that it's hard to get all testers to run a bisect, but easy to ask them to test snapshots. Right now the snapshots are generated nightly, but I think it would make more sense if they were generated every N patches, for some value of N...
Of course, for that to really work, we have to ensure that the result is always compilable, which has been getting better, but not perfect.
