Kernel release status

The current development kernel is 3.15-rc6, released on May 22. "With rc5 being a couple of days early, and rc6 being several days late, we had almost two weeks in between them. The size of the result is not twice as large, though, hopefully partially because it's getting late in the rc series and things are supposed to be calming down, but presumably also because some submaintainers just didn't send their pull requests because they knew I was off-line. Whatever the reason, things don't look bad." Linus plans to return to the normal Sunday schedule for rc7, presumably on June 1, which might be the last rc for 3.15.

Stable updates: 3.4.91 was released on May 18 with a handful of important fixes, including one (known) important security fix. For those who like their kernels especially stable, 2.6.32.62 was released on May 21; it includes fixes for 39 CVE-numbered bugs.
