You all know the deal by now: another week, another rc.Things look normal - rc2 is usually fairly calm, and so it was thisweek too. All the stats look normal too - the bulk of this is drivers(gpu, rdma, networking, scsi, usb stand out, but there's noiseelsewhere too), with the rest being random things all over - io_uring,filesystems (ceph, overlayfs), core networking, arch updates, headerfiles, etc etc.So peeps - go build it, install it and boot it, and report back anyproblems you see,
