The 6.7 kernel will be released on January 7
Unsurprisingly, Linus Torvalds has let
it be known that he will do a 6.7-rc8 release (rather than 6.7 final)
on December 31, thus avoiding opening the 6.8 merge window on New
Year's Day.
Just FYI - my current plan is that -rc7 will happen this Saturday (because I still follow the Finnish customs of Christmas _Eve_ being the important day, so Sunday I'll be off), and then if anything comes in that week - which it will do, even if networking might be offline - I'll do an rc8 the week after.Then, unless anything odd happens, the final 6.7 release will be Jan 7th, and so the merge window for 6.8 will open Jan 8th.
