Does NOBODY frickin read my -rc stable announcements?  This is only the
8th email today that I've gotten about this issue.

{sigh}

I don't know why I even bother at times...

Sorry, I don't mean to take it out on you, but please people, at least
do some basic searching.  Like look at the -stable queue git tree which
shows that a -rc has been released and is under review, or look at the
lkml traffic, or, subscribe to the stable-review mailing list or look at
its archives.
