Linux 5.7 rc5

So we've had a calm release so far, with most of the rc's up until nowsmaller than average.That changes with rc5, which is still pretty much in line withhistorical data, but rather than being slightly on the small side, itis slightly larger than average for this time in the release cycle.And for once, this is not really a source of concern for me. Becauseas mentioned last weekend for the rc4 release, the last rc was likelysmaller simply because that week hadn't seen any networking updates,nor some of the usual driver pull requests.So 5.7-rc5 is a bit larger than the last few rc5's have been - but itwas something I was expecting simply because of some pent-up pullrequests that came in this week rather than the week before.And while being slightly larger than usual, it's by no meansoutrageously so. It may have set a new record for number of non-mergecommits in the 5.x series, but it did so by one single measly commit:300 commits in 5.7-rc5 vs 299 commits in 5.6-rc5 (while the averagefor this time in the release cycle hovers just over 200).So nothing in here looks all that worrisome. The diffstat looks fairlynice and flat, and the slightly elevated commit count does seem to bejust the usual timing fluctuation.The changes are spread out, with nothing really dominating. Drivers,networking, arch updates, kvm, tooling, documentation.. A little bitof everything, and nothing that looks outrageous.We'll see what the next few weeks bring, but at least for now it allfeels normal, and like the 5.7 release is tracking well.So please keep testing, and if you haven't dared a 5.7 pre-releasekernel yet, we're well into the "things look calm and safe to test"time.I dare you all to prove me wrong. Go ahead, make my day 😉                Linus
