Things continue to look normal for the 5.7 release. If anything, rc4is a bit smaller than usual (it's the smallest rc4 since we had thetiny one over the Christmas week), and most of the discussions I wasinvolved with this week were about future development and cleanupsrather than any issues with the current release (although at least insome cases they were triggered by fixes that came in this release..)So things seem calm. Although I do suspect that part of "rc4 wassmall" is that it's one of those timing things, and there wasn't anetworking pull this week, for example.The bulk of the rc5 stuff is drivers (gpu, dma, sound, rdma, hyper-v,md, i2c, mmc) and filesystems (btrfs and nfs).And misc small fixlets elsewhere.Anyway, it doesn't feel like there's anything worrisome going on, socome on in and test the waters..
