vacation plans

[Bjorn Helgaas]

Hi everybody,

I plan to be on vacation from June 25 - July 17.  I don't know what
Linus has planned, but it's pretty typical to have seven RCs followed
by the release.  If he follows that schedule, the merge window would
open right after I return to work:

  June 12  v4.7-rc3
  ...
  July 10  v4.7-rc7 (projected)
  July 17  v4.7 release, merge window opens (projected)

I'd like to have as much of the v4.8 content as possible in -next and
ready to merge by June 24.  I may be able to handle some simple things
after July 17 and still get them in during the merge window, but I
don't like to add significant pieces that late.

Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com> has agreed to help with
any issues that need to be resolved before v4.7 releases.  He's
welcome to get things ready for the v4.8 window, too, but he has his
own full-time job, so please don't impose on him unnecessarily.

My current to-do list is attached below.  All the obvious things for
v4.7 are already in my for-linus branch; let me know if there are
others.

Bjorn

vacation plans

[Bjorn Helgaas]

Hi everybody,

I plan to be on vacation from July 14-30.  We're early in the release
cycle, and I should be back about the time Linus releases -rc3, so
there should still be time to process v4.14 patches when I return.

I don't see anything in the queue that looks super urgent for v4.13.
There is the Renesas USB issue, but we're waiting for an XHCI ack and
apparently we've had the issue since v4.11, so another week or two
shouldn't matter too much.

If something does start on fire, I twisted Alex Williamson's arm and
he said he might be able to help put it out.
