The emperor penguin last week
that work on this cut of the kernel had not slowed down, so suggested it might need to stretch beyond his preferred seven release candidates., Torvalds released rc8 and thanked developers for settling down. "So we've finally started calming down, and rc8 is noticeably smaller than previous release candidates," he wrote."So everything looks good, and while the calming down may have happened later than I wished for, it did happen. Let's hope this upcoming week is as quiet ."The two weeks after the release of a new kernel are reserved for merging stable additions to the kernel with the mainline branch.
As Linux 6.1 looks set to emerge on December 12, and the two-week merge window would therefore end on December 26, it's clear the holiday season could make for a rather messy run-up to Linux 6.2. Torvalds therefore last week urged developers to get their code ready before holiday-related activities have their annual impact on productivity.
