So I was somewhat pre-disposed towards making an rc8, simply becauseof my travels and being entirely off the internet for a few days lastweek, and with spotty internet for a few days before that [*].But there really doesn't seem to be any reason for another rc, sinceit's been very quiet. Yes, I had a few pull requests since rc7, butthey were all small, and I had many more that are for the upcomingmerge window. Part of it may be due to the July 4th week, of course,but whatever - I'll take the quiet week as a good sign.So despite a fairly late core revert, I don't see any real reason foranother week of rc, and so we have a v5.2 with the normal releasetiming.There's no particular area that stands out there - the changes are sosmall that the sppended shortlog really is the best description oflast week. A few small random changes all over: drivers,architectures, filesystem, mm, ...So with this, the merge window for 5.2 is open.           Linus
