Linus has released the 4.6-rc5 kernel
prepatch. “Things continue to be fairly calm: rc5 is bigger than rc4 was, but rc4
really was tiny.
And while we’re back to fairly normal commit counts for this time in
the release window, the kinds of bugs people are finding remain very
low grade: there’s absolutely nothing scary in here. If things
continue this way, this might be one of those rare releases that don’t
even get to rc7.”
