Ok, another week, another -rc.And as I suspected, the reason -rc5 was so small was that a lot ofpeople were still getting ready after the Kernel Summit. So -rc6 is abit larger, since people were playing catch-up. That said, it's not*huge* either, and it's not like it looks scary, but it's definitelynot tiny.Fairly normal statistics: two thirds drivers, with the remaining thirdbeing a mix of architecture updates, filesystems (gfs2 and nfs) andrandom core stuff (scheduler, workqueue, stuff like that).Please do test things out, I'd really like to be able to do the final3.6 soonish..
