I just pushed out the BK trees, and the tar-ball/patches are going out as
I write this, for Linux 2.6.2. The honor of naming it goes to Gernot
Heiser, for reasons that are largely alcoholic, I suspect. Good job!

The changelog from -rc3 mainly contains some ppc64 updates, see the 
summary for more details on some of the other changes.

Very nice.  But I see the name thing is really official now:

   2 alastair@gluck:~/linux-2.6> head Makefile
   VERSION = 2
   PATCHLEVEL = 6
   SUBLEVEL = 2
   EXTRAVERSION =
   NAME=Feisty Dunnart

Its own line in the Makefile, no less.  So, no doubt you're planning to 
actually _use_ this in some devious way?  Worrying indeed....

BTW, I did my first attempt at an ATAPI CD burn last night, on one of 
Feisty Dunnart's release candidates, and it was wildly successful.  I'm 
sure this isn't news, but it was great to see.

2.6 is looking great from here, no visible problems for me.

Cheers
Alastair
