Linux 2.6.25-rc5 [Released]
,----[ Quote ]
| So the size of the -rc patches is finally starting to shrink, but we still
| have way too many outstanding regression reports. Some of them should be
| already fixed in -rc5, but many won't be. So reporters, please do keep
| updating your entries as to whether they are fixed or not.

| This time around, about 60% of the diffs are in arch code, but that's a
| bit misleading, because over half of that is actually just the defconfig
| files for SH. With the patch-queues shrinking, big trivial patches like
| that easily end up being inordinately noticeable just because there's a
| lot of lines there.

| aren't using the affected hardware, getting it into the kernel in an
| unfinished state may do more good than harm.

| "It's a few days late, but I was waiting for some updates for some of the
