Another week, another -rc.Hmm. I think things are calming down, although with almost two thirdsof the commits coming in since Friday morning, it doesn't feel thatway - my Fridays end up feeling very busy. But looking at the numbers,we're pretty much where we normally are at this time of the rc series.The stats looks fairly normal: about half the patch is drivers,roughly a quarter is architecture updates, and the remainder is"misc": filesystems, scheduler, mm, etc.The bulk of the drivers is GPU updates, but there's a smattering ofrdma, hwmon, Xen, gpio, sound.The architecture side is powerpc, x86, some arm64, and some noise allover from some MM cleanups..Go out and test. By -rc5, we really should be starting to be gettingfairly ready.And please, if Thorsten Leemhuis is tracking one of your regressions,can you make sure to double-check it and see if it remains? It'slovely to have a regression tracker again, but it would also be reallygood to make sure that the ones that are solved get closed.               Linus
