Hey, it's been a really slow week between Christmas Day and New YearsDay, and I am not complaining at all.It does mean that rc2 is ridiculously and unrealistically small. Ialmost decided to skip rc2 entirely, but a small little meaninglessrelease every once in a while never hurt anybody. So here it is.The only even remotely noticeable work here is the DAX fixups thatreally arguably should have been merge window material but depended onstuff during this merge window and were delayed until rc2 due to that.Even that wasn't big, and the rest is trivial small fixes.I'm expecting things to start picking up next week as people recoverfrom the holidays.
