The 6.7 kernel will be released on January 7

Unsurprisingly, Linus Torvalds has letit be known that he will do a 6.7-rc8 release (rather than 6.7 final)on December31, thus avoiding opening the 6.8 merge window on NewYear's Day.

Just FYI - my current plan is that -rc7 will happen this Saturday(because I still follow the Finnish customs of Christmas _Eve_being the important day, so Sunday I'll be off), and then ifanything comes in that week - which it will do, even if networkingmight be offline - I'll do an rc8 the week after.

Then, unless anything odd happens, the final 6.7 release will be Jan7th, and so the merge window for 6.8 will open Jan 8th.
