Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 3.3-rc7, released on March 10 despite Linus's earlier wish not to do any more 3.3 prepatches. "Now, none of the fixes here are all that scary in themselves, but there were just too many of them, and across various subsystems. Networking, memory management, drivers, you name it. And instead of having fewer commits than in -rc6, we have more of them. So my hope that things would calm down simply just didn't materialize."

Stable updates: the 3.2.10 and 3.0.24 updates were released on March 12; both contain a long list of important fixes. 3.2.11 followed one day later to fix a build problem.

The 2.6.34.11 update, containing almost 200 changes, is in the review process as of this writing.
