I'm back to a Sunday release schedule, so here it is, rc3.Nothing really special stands out. There's a fair amount of churn inmm, which is unusual at this point, but that's all reverts: during themerge window Andrew sent some changes that were still being discussed,and we're reverting them for now.If you ignore the mm changes, the rest looks very normal: the bulk isdrivers (gpu, dm/bcache, usb, sound..), with the usual sprinkling ofarchitecture (powerpc, x86, arm, mips) and filesystem (udf, xfs,reiserfs) changes. And some perf tooling.And we had some performance-tweaking of the new lockref support forARM and s390.On the whole, nothing really appears very scary. Go forth and test,                   Linus
