Back on track with a Sunday afternoon release schedule, since therewas nothing particularly odd going on this week, and no last-minutebugs that I knew of and wanted to get fixed holding things up.Size-wise, this is also fairly normal, not as tiny as rc2. Easilyexplained by getting the fixes from both David and Greg (sincenetworking and drivers tend to be the two single biggest parts).And the patch distribution is quite standard too: about two thirdsdrivers (gpu, networking, usb, staging, sound, misc), with the restbeing filesystems (mainly nfs, btrfs), architecture updates (arc, x86,arm, powerpc), networking, and Documentation.In other words, things looks entirely normal for this stage of therelease process.Please give it all a whirl,
LT
