So when I released 3.17, I said that I'd extend the merge window to three weeks due to travel.
I clearly lied.
Because here we are, the usual two weeks later, and I've already pushed out 3.18-rc1.
What happened is that not only did I merge actively despite travels - I was out of communication just for a couple of days (almost, but not entirely, due to flights - the hotel in Düsseldorf lost all internet for a day too). But perhaps more importantly, people seem to have aggressively sent in their pull requests, because rc1 contains more than linux-next did a couple of days after 3.17.. So holding it up another week just seems pointless.
That said, I realize that people might have taken my statements at face value, and planned with that in mind. I hate it when I get pull requests really late in the merge window, but having closed it as per the regular schedule, I also understand that somebody might have planned on sending their pull request a bit later. It's ok. Grovel a bit, and explain what's up, and you can almost certainly guilt me into taking stuff.
Also, maybe I just missed something due to jetlag (hmm. yes, let's call it "jetlag", that sounds so much better than "core incompetence and bad planning"), so if you feel unfairly overlooked, send me a note explaining how I've unfairly wronged you.
There is also at least one pull request that I am hoping to get asap and planning on still pulling, ie I'm very much still hoping to get overlayfs finally merged. But there were a few last-minute questions from Al. Assuming that all works out, that's an expected late pull. Not worth holding up the rc1 release for one known straggler, though.
So there you have it. The merge window is closed, but with room for excuses and possible missed requests. As usual, the shortlog is much too big to post (core stats: roughly 74% drivers, 10% architecture updates, the rest networking, filesystems, core kernel, documentation, include files, tool updates...), and the appended is my "mergelog" which as usual credits the people I pulled from, which is not at all necessarily the same as the people writing the code.
Go forth and test,
Linus
