According to Linus Torvalds, it would appear that the wonderful team of kernel developers and contributors are in the middle of the merge window, and he will end up merging more commits for Linux kernel 4.2 than they were during all of the releases of Linux kernel 4.1. The development cycle of Linux kernel 4.2 might start this coming weekend with the first Release Candidate version.
