Linus wrote in the brief RC4 message, "we'd start to shrink the rc's, and yes, rc4 is smaller than rc3. By a tiny tiny smidgen. It does touch a few more files, but it has a couple fewer commits, and fewer lines changed overall. But on the whole the two are almost identical in size. Which isn't actually all that bad, considering that rc4 has both a networking merge and the usual driver suspects from Greg, _and_ some drm fixes - and those tend to be the big areas."
So overall, another routine update in kernel land. If you are unfamiliar with Linux 4.11, see our Linux kernel feature overview.
