Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 3.7-rc3, released on October 28. Linus notes that it's mostly a lot of small changes in a lot of places. But he has found a new problem to be concerned about: "And talking about the shortlog: christ people, some of you need to change your names. I'm used to there being multiple 'David's and 'Peter's etc, but there are three different Linus's in just this rc. People, people, I want to feel like the unique snowflake I am, not like just another anonymous guy in a crowd."

Stable updates: 3.0.49, 3.4.16, and 3.6.4 all came out on October 28; they were followed by 3.0.50, 3.2.33, 3.4.17 and 3.6.5 on October 31. All contain another set of important fixes. Worth noting is the fact that 3.6.5 disables by default the hard and soft link security restrictions added during the 3.6 merge window in response to another reported regression.
