One week before that was Monday 24-09-2012, which is the nominal close of my merge window. The patches were sent on 21-09 (Friday for you, the weekend my time). If I had nothing else to do on Monday, I would have applied it, but we spent the week trying to get the module signing patches into shape :( If I take them now, they need to go through linux-next. That won't happen until Monday. I want two days in linux-next, so that people who test linux-next get a chance to find issues, so that's Wednesday before I send to Linus, which is getting very late into the merge window. And keep adding two days for every trivial issue which is found :( It's in my modules-wip branch for 3.8. Cheers, Rusty.
