Kernel release status
This was actually a slightly smaller merge window than usual, but I think that what happened is simply that the holiday season impacted new development. It impacted the 5.5 rc series less than I had expected, but seems to instead have caused 5.6 to have slightly less development than normal."
Stable updates:
5.5.3, 5.4.19, and 4.19.103 were released on February 11.
