Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 3.3-rc6, released on March 3. Linus says that things are calming down: "In fact, it's been calm enough that this *might* be the last -rc, but we'll see how the upcoming week goes. If it stays calm (and hopefully even calms down some more), there doesn't seem to be any major reason to drag out the release cycle any more."

Stable updates: The 2.6.32.58 stable kernel update was released on March 4. It contains a long set of important fixes, as usual. Greg says: "This is the last 2.6.32 kernel I will be releasing. The 2.6.32 kernel is now in 'extended-longterm' maintenance, with no set release schedule from now on. I STRONGLY encourage any users of the 2.6.32 kernel series to move to the 3.0 series at this point in time." Willy Tarreau has reaffirmed that he will take over 2.6.32 maintenance - but at a slower pace.
