Joy! Hi Doug, Thank you for keeping us in the loop, as far as I can see there are no -rc material except this one: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10032391/ This patch is extremely important to forward to Linus in this cycle, before -rc is closed, because NLDEV was added in v4.14 merge window. Will it be OK from you side if I forward this to Linus immediately?
