Kernel release status
It's been a very calm rc3 week, and at least in pure number of commits this is the smallest rc3 we've had in the 5.x series. Considering that the merge window was not in any way small, this is a bit surprising, but I suspect it's one of those 'not everybody sent in fixes this week' things that will rectify itself next week."
Smallness notwithstanding, there are a couple of interesting things in 5.13-rc3, the first of which is a big set of reverts and fixes for a long series of broken patches identified in the TAB report on the UMN mess.
The other notable change in 5.13-rc3 is that the quotactl_path() system call, which was added during the 5.13 merge window, has been disabled. The commit turning it off notes that the concerns about this call were first raised in the LWN comment stream — good work everybody!
