Does fs-next include dependencies?

I assume when you write that filesystem changes are pulled in first that is still after their dependencies? Or are they literally testing their changes with outdated dependencies only to avoid running into bugs in e.g. the memory and block systems?

fs-next is created from just the fs related trees and is meant to be a reasonable base for
doing fs development. We will find conflicts with development in other subsystems when
the fs-next branch is later merged into linux-next itself (or when the other subsystem trees
are merged into linux-next later).
