    Kernel prepatch 4.0-rc3
    The 4.0-rc3 prepatch is out. "Back
    on track with a Sunday afternoon release schedule, since there was nothing
    particularly odd going on this week, and no last-minute bugs that I knew of
    and wanted to get fixed holding things up.

    The kernel's code of conflict
    A brief "code
    of conflict
    " was merged into the kernel's documentation
    directory for the 4.0-rc3 release. The idea is to describe the parameters
    for acceptable discourse without laying down a lot of rules; it also names
    the Linux Foundation's technical advisory board as a body to turn to in
    case of unacceptable behavior. This document has been explicitly
    acknowledged by a large number of prominent kernel developers.
