Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 3.6-rc3, released on August 22. Linus says: "Shortlog appended, there's nothing here that makes me go 'OMG! Scary!' or makes me want to particularly mention it separately. All just random updates and fixes."

Previously, 3.6-rc2 was released on on August 16. "Anyway, with all that said, things don't seem too bad. Yes, I ignored a few pull requests, but I have to say that there weren't all that many of those, and the rest looked pretty calm. Sure, there's 330+ commits in there, but considering that it's been two weeks, that's about expected (or even a bit low) for early -rc's. Yes, 3.5 may have been much less for -rc2, but that was unusual."

Stable updates: 2.6.34.13 and 3.2.28 were both released on August 20.

Linus is slipping. This time the release occurred just _before_ the next LWN issue.
