Things are looking fairly normal, so here's the regular weekly  rc.It's a bit bigger than rc5, but not alarmingly so, and nothing looksparticularly worrisome. Knock wood. The only slightly unusual thing ishow the patches are spread out, with almost equal parts of archupdates, drivers, filesystems, networking and "misc".But the late rc's are small enough that you see more fluctuation inthose kinds of statistics than you see over the bigger release, so"not the usual distribution" is more about the normal noise ofdevelopment all over.Go and get it,                   Linus
