Kernel release status
This is also the point where I ask people to calm down, and not send me anything but clear bug-fixes etc. We're definitely well into -rc land. So keep it quiet out there." The long-format changelog has the details.
No patches have been merged into Linus's BitKeeper repository since the -rc2 release. Given recent events, one should not expect more patches to end up there anytime soon.
The current -mm tree is 2.6.12-rc2-mm1. Recent changes to -mm include a new version of the crash dump code, a reiser4 update, a patch optionally removing all BUG() and printk() calls (shrinks the kernel but with significant side effects), an InfiniBand update, some scheduler tweaks, and various fixes.
The current 2.4 kernel is 2.4.30, which was released by Marcelo (with no changes from
-rc4) on April 3.

Maybe you can include the last "stable" kernel release (2.6.11.6)?Kernel release status
No no, Linus anticipates this. It's 2.6.11.7 now. ;-)

The article does not elaborate on what significant means!
Will it change my DNA? melt my motherboard? erase my hard drive?
