It's been quiet - enough so that coupled with my upcoming travel, thismight just be the last -rc, and final 3.17 might be next weekend.Of course, that still depends on what happens - if we have somethingscary coming up next week, I may have to delay things. But as it looksright now, we're all good to go.The shortlog is appended, but the view from ten thousand feet ispretty normal: a bit more than half is drivers (gpu, sound, iio,media, usb), just under a third is arch updates (arm, mips, x86), andthe rest is mainly filesystem updates (gfs2, cifs, btrfs, nfs).Nothing particular stands out, and I'm not aware of any big pendingissues either. So please go out and test, because this *should* all bepretty close to release.            Linus
