Another week, another -rc.This release does seem to continue to be more active in the rc's thanusual, but it actually feels like it's calming down. So rc4 is largerthan an rc4 release usually is (about 400 non-merge commits, whenusually at this stage we should be at ~300), but at the same time itfeels fairly normal. There was the watchdog merge that I alreadymentioned in the rc3 release, but other than that it looks much morelike a normal rc than rc3 did, for example.In particular, ignoring that core watchdog thing, it's the usual"mostly drivers and arch updates". This time most of the arch updates(by far) are arm, and the driver5s are dominated by networking, butthere's other stuff in there too (USB, MMC, HID..). And then the usualrandom stuff elsewhere.The good news is that the diffstat is pretty flat - ie the changes arepretty small. The exception is that core watchdog thing, and somestm32 dts-file reorg.So I do have some hope that things are approaching normal. I'd expectthat to continue, and things start calming down. If rc5 doesn't shownoticeable signs of that calming down, I suspect we'll have to startthinking about rc8 etc, but we'll see The kernel summit isapproaching, so people will be traveling later in the release cycle.We'll see how that affects things too.Anyway, shortlog appended, go out and test, Linus Articles
