So after that very small rc2 due to the xmas break, we seem to be backto fairly normal. After a quiet period like that, I tend to expect abigger chunk just because of pent up work, but I guess the short breakthere really was vacation for everybody, and so instead we're justseeing normal rc behavior. It still feels a bit smaller than a usualrc3, but for the first real rc after the merge window (ie I'd compareit to a regular rc2), it's fairly normal.The stats look textbook for the kernel: just under 2/3rds drivers,with almost half of the rest arch updates, and the rest being "misc"(mainly filesystems and networking).So nothing in particular stands out. You can get a flavor of thedetails from the appended shortlog, but even more importantly - youcan go out and test.Thanks,              Linus
