Kernel prepatch 3.8-rc4

Linus Torvalds has released the fourth prepatch for the 3.8 kernel. He was "late" a day in releasing it, which sent him on a mission to figure out which day was the most common for releases (Sunday). "Anyway, with that digression, I can happily report that -rc4 is smaller than -rc3 despite the extra day, although not by much. There's not really a whole lot that stands out: apart from one new wireless driver (the Atheros Wilocity driver) and some OMAP drm changes, the diffstat looks pretty flat and spread out. Which just means lots of small changes all over."

I thought releases were always 20 minutes after LWN.net Weekly Edition saying that a release had not happened yet.

42 minutes is the average.

But most certainly neither you nor Linux Torwarlds can draw those numbers out from git repositories of linux kernel and everything else simply does not exist, no statistics to prove correlation. ;-)
