Linux 4.10-rc3 Kernel Released
After being slow around New Year's, Linux 4.10-rc3 is back to regularly scheduled programming. Linus noted in this evening's announcement, "After a quiet period like that, I tend to expect abigger chunk just because of pent up work, but I guess the short break there really was vacation for everybody, and so instead we're just seeing normal rc behavior. It still feels a bit smaller than a usual rc3, but for the first real rc after the merge window (ie I'd compare it to a regular rc2), it's fairly normal. The stats look textbook for the kernel: just under 2/3rds drivers, with almost half of the rest arch updates, and the rest being 'misc' (mainly filesystems and networking)."
The 4.10-rc3 announcement can be read on the LKML.
