Things look pretty good (knock wood), and  rc7 is solidly in theaverage size department, with nothing that looks particularly scary.There's patches all over: drivers, architectures, networking.filesystems, mm, tooling, etc. But most of it is pretty small. Theexceptions are a revert of a new virtio MEI driver that wasn't quiteready, some changes to the IBM vnic driver, and some arm64 entry codefixes. But those don't feel particularly worrisome, and the rest alllooks normal.So unless something odd and bad happens next week, we'll have a final5.10 release next weekend, and then we'll get the bulk of the mergewindow for 5.11 over and done with before the holiday season starts.And in the meantime, please do give this all a whirl,              Linus
