    Kernel prepatch 4.4-rc7
    Noting that "there is no rest for kernel developers," Linus
    has released the 4.4-rc7 prepatch. Still,
    it seems he plans to allow for a bit of rest in the near future: "I
    expect more of the same for next week, when I'd almost certainly ready to
    just release the final 4.4, but will probably do an rc8 just to not open
    the merge window while people are still recovering from the
    holidays.
