Linux 2.6.28-rc2
,----[ Quote ]
| It's not been a week yet, but we had a few annoying brown-paper-bugs in
| -rc1 that made it hard for many people to test without applying patches.
| So rather than wait out the week, I'll just make an -rc2 early, with the
| fixes for the problems that kept people from testing it.
|
| And hey, maybe we can even _continue_ the nice model of "just small fixes
| after -rc1". I know, it sounds insane, but it's a real pleasure to do an
| -rc2 with just a handful of fixes for real problems that real people see.
| What a concept!

A pile of stable kernel updates
,----[ Quote ]
| The 2.6.25.19, 2.6.26.7, and 2.6.27.3 stable kernel updates are out; each
| contains about a dozen important fixes. It seems that 2.6.25 and 2.6.26 will
| probably only get one more stable update after this, so users of mainline
| kernels are being encouraged to move forward to 2.6.27.
