Kernel prepatch 4.0-rc1
Linus has closed the merge window for this release and released 4.0-rc1 — meaning, of course, that the current
plan is to call the release "4.0". "But nobody should
notice. Because moving to 4.0 does *not* mean that we somehow changed what
people see. It's all just more of the same, just with smaller numbers so
that I can do releases without having to take off my socks again."
The codename has also changed to "Hurr durr I'ma sheep."
