Linux 4.15 Kernel Released, Time For The Linux 4.16 Merge Window

The belated Linux kernel update is now available and remains under the "Fearless Coyote" codename.
As of writing, Linus Torvalds has yet to post any brief message to the Linux kernel mailing list, but in traditional fashion this now marks the opening of the two-week merge window process to which there is a lot to look forward to with Linux 4.16.

Update: For those interested Torvalds has now posted his release announcement.
