This one should be the last one: we're certainly not running out of regressions, but at the same time, at some point I just have to pick some point, and on the whole the regressions don't look _too_ scary. And -rc8 obviously does fix more of them. Most of the changes since -rc7 are pretty small, and there aren't even a whole lot of them. The shortlog (appended) is just a couple of pages, and the diffstat is even smaller, but since the dirstat is a dense overview, I'll just put that here instead: 4.6% arch/m32r/kernel/ 5.7% arch/m32r/ 9.5% arch/mips/pci/ 10.4% arch/mips/ 4.2% arch/x86/kernel/ 4.4% arch/x86/ 26.0% arch/ 3.5% drivers/usb/storage/ 10.4% drivers/usb/ 3.6% drivers/watchdog/ 23.8% drivers/ 11.5% fs/xfs/ 13.5% fs/ 3.7% kernel/ 9.8% net/9p/ 10.6% net/ 5.4% scripts/kconfig/ 5.9% scripts/ 7.4% sound/soc/codecs/ 8.4% sound/soc/ 10.1% sound/ and it's actually more spread out than usual. Arch and drivers are just half of the patch even when combined.
