So it may still be Saturday at home, but with the Kernel Summit inKorea coming up, I'm ahead of the curve in a +0900 timezone, and it'sSunday here. So it's release day.This rc breaks the "nicely shrinking and calming down" trend, largelydue to the fact that we had the networking fixes merged in rc7 (butnot in rc6). There's also a few other slightly larger pulls (ARM SoCfixes, along with gpu, block layer and media fixes), and obviously allthe usual misc driver fixes etc. But the networking changes is whatmakes it look a bit different from the previous rc.And despite that slight increase in size, nothing looks particularlyworrisome, and this release cycle still seems to be going smoothly. Asalready alluded to, next week is kernel summit, and with a lot of thecore maintainers being busy in Seoul, I'm assuming things stay calmand unless anything odd happens, I'll do the final 4.3 next Sunday(back in my usual timezone by then).Shortlog appended for people who want to peruse the details.
