Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, the third release candidate of the Linux Kernel 3.11 has been released a while ago. It brings some improvements to the previous version, Kernel 3.11 RC2.
The things are back to normal, Linus Torvalds is upset again, because Kernel 3.11 RC3 is bigger than expected (from the mailing lists):
“Please just forget about me telling you people to get back to work last week. You got. -rc3 has about 50% more commits than -rc2 did. Part of it is that a few people missed rc2, but part of it is that people just sent me more.”
“Please stop. It’s summer. It’s nice outside. Take the kids to the pool or something. Send me just regression fixes. Otherwise I’ll have to start shouting at people again,”
