Kernel prepatch 3.1-rc1
The 3.1-rc1 prepatch is out after a longer
than usual merge window. "Notable? It depends on what you look for. VM writeback work? You got
it. And there was some controversy over the iscsi target code. There's
networking changes, there's the rest of the generic ACL support moving
into the VFS layer proper, simplifying the filesystem code that was
often cut-and-paste duplicated boiler plate. And making us faster at
doing it at the same time. And there are power management interface
cleanups.
But there's nothing *huge* here. Looks like a fairly normal release,
as I said. Unless I've forgotten something." All the details can be
found in the
long-format changelog.

Hm, did the release numbering scheme undergo a left-shift starting from 3.0?
With the 2.6.x Numbering Scheme we would have seen:
3.0.0.1 and 3.0.1-rc1 but instead we see
So right after 3.1 we will be heading for 3.2?

Yes. Exactly correct. That is the whole point.
