Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 3.2-rc5, released on December 9. "It's been a bit over a week, and I'm sad to report that -rc5 is bigger (at least in number of commits - most of the commits are pretty small, so it's possible that the *diff* ends up being smaller, but I didn't check) than both -rc2 and -rc4 were. So much for 'calming down'." 355 changes have been merged since -rc4, indeed bigger than -rc2 (280) and -rc4 (207) but smaller than -rc3 (412). All told, there have been 1,254 changes since -rc1, which, at a bit over 10% of the total, is actually relatively small.

Stable updates: the 2.6.32.50, 3.0.13, and 3.1.5 stable updates were released on December 9. All three contain the usual long list of important fixes.
