Kernel prepatch 4.5-rc2
The 4.5-rc2 kernel prepatch is out. Linus
says things aren't going so slowly anymore: "As late as Friday, I was planning on talking about how nice it is to
see this new trend of tiny rc2 releases, because there really hadn't
been very many pull requests at all.

But it turns out the pull requests were just heavily skewed to the end
of the week, and 4.5-rc2 isn't particularly small after all. It pretty
much doubled over the weekend." Still, he seems to think that
things are working well enough.
