Things are progressing pretty normally. rc5 is smaller than rc4 was,and nothing looks particularly scary for this release window.Let's hope it stays that way.The diffstat looks normal too, with just over 40% driver updates, andjust under 40% arch updates. Although the reason the arch updates showup that highly is actually largely a single MIPS BPF JIT file that hadgotten lost (somebody forgot to "git add" it, methinks), and that gotfix up here.Outside of drivers and architecture, it's the usual random stuff:networking, core VM, header files and some scripting. And various miscone-liners.Shortlog appended, you can get something of an idea of what's beengoing on from it - lots of small details being fixed up.Go forth and test, and everything says that we'll get 4.13 out in ourusual timely manner.
