Linus has released 7.0-rc4 for testing.

Then Thursday hit with the networking pull. And then on Friday
everybody else decided to send in their work for the week, with a
few more trickling in over the weekend. End result: what had for a
short few days looked like a nice calm week turned into another
“bigger than usual” release candidate.

week” is 100% normal, and none of this is surprising. I was
admittedly hoping that things would start to calm down, but that
was not to be.

I no longer really believe that it was the one extra week we had
last release cycle: I’m starting to suspect it’s the psychological
result of “hey, new major number”, and people are just being a bit
more active as a result.
