The diffstat looks a bit odd this time around, with almost a third of
it being in the tools directory. But that's almost entirely just due
to a header file sync, which picked up the largish x86 feature flag
cleanup and some other header file noise.
If you ignore the tooling header updates, it's roughly one third
filesystems (bcachefs dominates, but there's btrfs and netfs fixes
too), one third drivers (gpu, networking, and misc), and one third
'the rest" (MM, arch updates, core networking, documentation, etc).
But it all looks fairly normal. rc4 is bigger than either rc2 or rc3
were, but not hugely so, and it's actually a normal pattern, where it
takes a while before people find some issues. So nothing feels all
that odd. I have some travel coming up, so I hope things will start
to calm down a bit.
