I'm happy to report that things seem to be calming down nicely, and
rc5 is noticeably smaller than previous rc's. Let's hope the trend
continues.

About a third of the changes are to drivers (networking, rdma, scsi,
block, misc), with the rest being spread out all over (tooling,
networking, filesystems, arch updates, core  kernel..)

Nothing looks particularly worrisome, so assuming the trend holds, we
look to be on track for a fairly normal release cycle despite the
early hiccups due to the holidays.

Go out there and test in between the commercial breaks,

             Linus
