I'm not planning on a -rc10, there's not any real justification for it. Yes, we've had changes since -rc9, but apart from 1300+ lines of documentation, the rest is all really small fixes (some for problems that have been pending for a longish while - today has been a good day, for example). Lacking a -rc10 due to major changes (which quite frankly do not look likely based on current regression lists or other activity), 2.6.26 would probably happen over the weekend. So it would be better to get any trivial changes in _now_, and at least give them a couple of days in -git. Linus
