Linux Kernel 4.2 May Be the Biggest Release Ever
From Linus' Google+ page the Linux Kernel 4.2 may be the biggest release ever.
Quote:
Not even halfway through the merge window, but I suspect that by the end of day today I will have merged more commits for 4.2 than we had during all of the 4.1 release.
4.0 was pretty small (by our modern standards, which is to say it was still a lot of changes), 4.1 was about average, and it looks like 4.2 may end up being the biggest release (in number of commits, at least) we've ever had.
So much for the summer slowdown (and no, it's not the Aussies and other southern hemisphere people picking up the slack).
[ Update: I don't think I'll beat the 4.1 numbers today. Partly because Greg's pull requests were smaller than I expected, but partly because I'm slowing down my merges because I think I just hit a jbd2 bug introduced in this merge window ]
