3:32a	Kernel prepatch 3.15-rc8 — and the start of the 3.16 merge window Linus has released the 3.15-rc8 prepatch after concluding that this development cycle needed one more week of stabilization. But has also decided to go ahead and start the 3.16 merge window before the 3.15 release, mostly as a way of avoiding a conflict with a planned family vacation. "So let's try to see how well that works - the last weeks of the release tends to be me just waiting around to make sure nothing bad is happening, so doing this kind of overlapping development *should* work fine. Maybe it works so well that we'll end up doing it in the future even if there *isn't* some kind of scheduling conflict that makes me want to start the merge window before I'm 100% comfortable doing the release for the previous version."
