Well, right now, yes.

But in the longer term, I think we want to protect linux-next from the
bad patches so that they don't poison the testing that the bots can
do.

So that's why I suggested that linux-next and syzbot have some
protocol to have things that cause syzbot pain to be removed from
linux-next more aggressively.
