That depends on how good people are about putting stuff into linux-next. So far
you've added 3298 non-merge commits in this merge window but the count of
commits in linux-next is less than a thousand below its peak.

We didn't empty linux-next in the last merge, so we probably won't this
time either ... but there are still 4382 commits waiting.

The attached graph of pending work in linux-next was produced with this script
(my linux-next tree has a branch named "linus" which pulls from your tree).

git tag | grep next- | sort | while read tag
do
c=$(git-rev-list --no-merges $tag ^linus | wc -l)

echo ${tag##next-} $c
done
