Kernel prepatch 7.0-rc4

Linus has released 7.0-rc4 for testing.

Then Thursday hit with the networking pull. And then on Fridayeverybody else decided to send in their work for the week, with afew more trickling in over the weekend. End result: what had for ashort few days looked like a nice calm week turned into another"bigger than usual" release candidate.

To be fair, that "almost everything comes in at the end of theweek" is 100% normal, and none of this is surprising. I wasadmittedly hoping that things would start to calm down, but thatwas not to be.

I no longer really believe that it was the one extra week we hadlast release cycle: I'm starting to suspect it's the psychologicalresult of "hey, new major number", and people are just being a bitmore active as a result.
