Things are looking pretty normal for this time of the release process.
All the stats look very regular, and the diffstat mostly does too.
I say "mostly", just because we had a bunch of xfs fixes last week,
which makes the diffstat skew that way more than usual. But even that
is mainly for a self-test addition. The actual code changes are much
smaller.
So instead of the usual 50+% drivers, the rc4 diffstat is about "one
third drivers, one third filesystems, one third rest". Not all of the
filesystem stuff is xfs, of course - we have cifs, btrfs and ksmbd
fixes too.
On the driver side, it's a mix, but networking and gpu shows up as
usual. With USB and thunderbolt fixes showing up, and the rest being
fairly random.
And "the rest" is all the normal stuff. Self-tests, core networking,
architecture updates, nothing odd there.
Let's hope things stay normal. And, as normal, testing and reporting
issues is appreciated,
