Linus Torvalds has released 6.7-rc1, thus closing the merge windowfor this release. It is the largest merge window ever, but some of thatwas due to the bcachefs history that came with merge of that filesystem.
But 6.7 is prettybig in other ways too, with

12678 files changed, 838819 insertions(+), 280754 deletions(-)

which is also bigger than those historically big releases [4.9, 5.8 and5.13]. And that's not due to bcachefs, that's actually mainly due to ia64 removal and alot of GPU support (notably lots of AMD GPU header files again - lotsand lots of lines, but there's support for new nvidia cards too).
