But most of the time, all of these tracing/* topics are quickly merged into tip/master. Sometimes they are not because of a pending breakage but tip/master is rarely more than a tiny bit out of sync against tracing/ topics. I guess tip/master is enough and good to base a work on, or to see the latest changes in tracing. No? > Should we add another topic in MAINTAINERS?
