2.6.24-rc5, No Final Before Xmas Dec 13, 2007, 13 :45 UTC (3 Talkback[s]) (5266 reads) (Other stories by Linus Torvalds)
"'It's been a week, and I promised to be a good boy and try to follow my release rules, so here is the next -rc,' Linus Torvalds said, announcing the 2.6.24-rc5 kernel. He noted:
"'Things _have_ slowed down, although I'd obviously be lying if I said we've got all the regressions handled and under control. They are being worked on, and the list is shrinking, but at a guess, we're definitely not going to have a final 2.6.24 out before xmas unless santa puts some more elves to work on those regressions. So any elves out there--please keep working...'"
