So after that extra week with an rc8, things were pretty calm, and I'mmuch happier releasing a final 4.11 now.We still had various smaller fixes the last week, but nothing thatmade me go "hmm..". Shortlog appended for people who want to perusethe details, but it's a mix all over, with about half being drivers(networking dominates, but some sound fixlets too), with the restbeing soem arch updates, generic networking, and filesystem (nfs[d])fixes. But it's all really small, which is what I like to see the lastweek of the release cycle.And with this, the merge window is obviously open. I already have twopull request for 4.12 in my inbox, I expect that overnight I'll get alot more. Linus
