    [$] A look at the 3.12 development cycle
    As of this writing, the 3.12-rc6 prepatch has been released, Linus seems happy with the state of the kernel, and, in general, there are few reports of problems on the mailing lists. If things continue to stabilize, the 3.12 cycle might be a short one, even by recent standards. So, clearly, it's time to get the traditional development statistics article out there.

    Click below (subscribers only) for the full article from this week's Kernel Page.
