Kernel prepatch 3.17-rc1 Linus has
released 3.17-rc1 and closed the
merge window for this release. He had suggested that the merge window
could be extended, but that's not how things turned out. "
I'm going
to be on a plane much of tomorrow, and am not really supportive of
last-minute pull requests during the merge window anyway, so I'm closing
the merge window one day early, and 3.17-rc1 is out there now."
