Kernel prepatch 4.10-rc8
Linus has released one more kernel prepatch, 4.10-rc8, rather than the final 4.10 release
that had been expected. He said that 4.10 could have come out this week, but he
thought better of it. "But I decided that there's also no huge
overriding reason to do so (other than getting back to the usual "rc7 is
the last rc" schedule, which would have been nice), and with travel coming
up, I decided that I didn't really need to open the merge window. I've done
merge windows during travel before, but I just prefer not to."
