Things continue to look fairly normal. About half the rc5 release is driverupdates, with amdgpu standing out but mainly because everything else isreally pretty small, not because the amdgpu patches are all that big.  Outside of drivers, there's a random collection of changes all over: somefilesystems (ceph and cifs), some networking, some core kernel, some smallarch updates, and some tooling.There's a fair number of changes in there (shortlog appended as usual), buta lot of them really are one- or two-liners.So I think we're in pretty good shape. Please go keep testing, though, tomake sure we're not missing anything.                     Linus
