[$] Statistics from the 4.7 development cycle The 4.7 kernel was released on
July 24, so longtime readers might be wondering where the usual
development statistics are. We're running a little late this time around,
but for good reason — Greg Kroah-Hartman obtained information from a large
number of developers on who they work for, and we're now able to use that
information to produce better numbers. Of course, the overall story hasn't
changed a whole lot — kernel development is relatively boring and
predictable these days — but each cycle still has a few noteworthy points.
