Right. But a patch generally needs time to be reviewed, spun several
times, etc... so just the week before the merge window is probably too
late :-)
A good rule is that people should start sending things to the list for
review about one kernel release in advance :-)
Now, -rc4 should generally be the wakeup call. It's when I start
frowning even on bug fixes, and putting together a next branch, at least
normally. I can be flexible but people need to try to play nicely too.
Cheers,
Ben.
