Kernel prepatch 6.2-rc5

The 6.2-rc5 kernel prepatch is out.

Ok, so I thought we were back to normal after the winter holidays at rc4. Now, a week later, I think I was mistaken - we have fairly sizable rc5, so I suspect there was still pent up testing and fixes from people being off.

Anyway, I am expecting to do an rc8 this release regardless, just because we effectively had a lost week or two in the early rc's, so a sizable rc5 doesn't really worry me. I do hope we're done with the release candidates growing, though.

How long ago was an rc not released on a Sunday?

Saturday release

For the curious, Linus has convincingly explained the reason for the early -rc release this week.

I like these early release times of the RCs: makes it possible to test the new kernel over the weekend. In my timezone (Europe), the releases happen usually late in the Sunday / Monday night.
