A week ago, I had even considered skipping -rc7 entirely as things hadbeen so calm, but decided that there was little reason to hurry therelease.And oh, how sadly right I was. -rc7 is out now, and is not at allsmaller than the previous rc's, and in fact slightly scarier. For somereason the block layer came up on the radar, and there are md, scsiand generic block layer changes in there. So we definitely wantanother week of testing, and hopefully things really are solid.There's also a few filesystem fixes (reiserfs, xfs and ext3) andvarious other driver updates (sound, networking and drm).Shortlog appended. Go out and test,                    Linus
