Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 3.8-rc6, released on February 1. "I have a CleverPlan(tm) to make *sure* that rc7 will be better and much smaller. That plan largely depends on me being unreachable for the next week due to the fact that there is no internet under water." Once he returns from diving, Linus plans to be very aggressive about accepting only patches that "fix major security issues, big user-reported regressions, or nasty oopses". The code name for the release has changed; it is now "Unicycling Gorilla".

Stable updates: 3.0.62, 3.4.29, and 3.7.6 were released on February 3; 3.2.38 was released on February 6.
