Well, that might be fixable without too much effort.  Maybe jeremy could 
simply branch off a stable branch for 2.6.30 before rebasing to 
2.6.31-rc1?  Just to have something people can pull which is not based 
on some -rc bleeding edge kernel?  That branch wouldn't get updates, 
except maybe for cherry-picked bugfixes, maybe also 2.6.30.x stable 
patches if they apply cleanly.  Development would still happen in the 
xen-next + xen-master branches of course.
cheers,
