Heh. I don't think -rc6 is "possible" - it's "inevitable". We have too much fallout from the timer changes still outstanding. It looks people finally figured out a big issue with the HPET timer, and that hopefully resolves most of the remaining timer-related regressions, but yes, we most definitely _will_ have an -rc6. Andrew, what's your feeling apart from the timer fallout? Linus
