Kernel prepatch 4.8-rc5
The 4.8-rc5 kernel prepatch is available
for testing.
"
So rc5 is noticeably bigger than rc4 was, and my hope last week that we were starting to calm down and shrink the releases seems to have been premature. [...] Not that any of this looks worrisome per se, but if things don't start calming down from now, this may be one of those releases that will need an rc8. We'll see."
