I will be away from linux-next starting Friday until Monday week (i.e. Nov 2) attending Kernel Summit and taking a short break. Two of my past victims/helpers will also be at Kernel Summit.
So if you do the usual -rc7 (this Sunday) then release (a week later), there will be no linux-next releases during that time. If this is seen as a problem, you could delay the release, or suprise everyone and release this weekend :-)
I suspect a reasonable amount of code for v4.4 is still pending as we only have ~8500 commits in linux-next so far (and nothing in the vfs tree for example). I would expect about 10000 commits in a normal release. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au
