Things are still looking fairly normal, and this is the usual weeklySunday rc release. We're up to rc4, and people are clearly starting tofind the regressions. Good, good.it's a slightly more random collection of fixes from last week: thebulk of it is still drivers (gpu, net, sound, usb stand out), andthere's the usual architecture work (but mostly just x86 this timearound), but there's a fair amount of fixes all over. Filesystems(xfs, btrfs, some core vfs), tooling (mostly perf), core mm,networking etc etc.This is also the point where I start hoping that the rc's startshrinking. We'll see how the tiny rc2 affects things - this maytechnically be rc4, but with that one almost dead week, it feels likerc3. But I'm crossing my fingers that we'll have less next week.Regardless, go out and test. This was not a huge merge window, I thinkwe're in pretty good shape for people to dive in..
