Kernel release status

The current 2.6 prepatch remains 2.6.24-rc2. Quite a few patches have found their way into the mainline git repository since -rc2 was released; they are mostly fixes but there's also some ongoing CIFS ACL support work and the removal of a number of obsolete documents. Expect the -rc3 release sometime in the very near future.

The current -mm tree is 2.6.24-rc2-mm1 - the first -mm release since 2.6.23-mm1 came out on October 11. Recent changes to -mm include a number of device mapper updates, a big driver tree update (which has broken a number of things), a lot of IDE updates, bidirectional SCSI support, a large set of SLUB fixes and other "mammary manglement" patches, 64-bit capability support, a number of ext4 enhancements, and the PCI hotplug development tree.

There is a round, firm, elegant double-entendre in there somewhere.
