Any guesses as to whether we'll be getting the spooky 6.6.6 kernel before the end of the year? :-)

We would assume so, given that stable point releases come out every week or more! So yes, I would be amazed if 6.6.6 wasn't upon us well before Christmas...

And just in time for Christmas ... :-)

Will it be the live one AT Christmas - probably not ... (Good Omens anyone (Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman))

6.6.6 is apparently much more efficient at running daemons.
