Kernel release status
Hey, things are finally calming down. In fact, it looked *really* calm until yesterday, at which point some people clearly realized 'hey, I should push my stuff to Linus so that it makes it into -rc4', and then a third of all changes came in the last day, but despite that, rc4 finally looks like things are falling into place, and we'll get to stabilize this release after all."
Stable updates: no stable kernel updates have been released in the
last week. The
3.17.3 (319 patches!),
3.14.24, and
3.10.60 updates are in the review process
as of this writing; they can be expected on or after November 14.
