Linus Torvalds Delays Linux 3.7, Releases 3.7-rc8 Kernel Instead
hypnosec writes "The Linux 3.7 kernel has been delayed by one week as Linus Torvalds has released the Linux 3.7-rc8 instead. Because of some hiccups following the 'resurrection of a kswapd issue,' Torvalds wasn't comfortable releasing version 3.7 this week and instead went ahead with another release candidate. Torvalds revealed in his release announcement that because of this delay, the merge window for Linux 3.8 will close just around Christmas time."
Which stories would you rather see more of? Obama hosting Twitter townhalls, Facebook privacy schemes, or Crysis system requirments?
Ooooh, how about a slashvertisement for a commercial version of an X tunnel over ssh?

I read it as "If you send me small irrelevant stuff that doesn't fix major issues such as oopses, security, things like that..."
And because I'm dragging it out for another week, I'm going to be
*very* bitter if anybody sends me pull requests this late in the game
that aren't for major issues. If you send me small irrelevant stuff
that doesn't fix major issues (oopses, security, things like that),
I'm going to curse at you
In the spirit of forgiveness and magnanimity, Linus has offered not to call anyone a "fucking moron who should kill himself" this Christmas.
Don't screw up the peace and goodwill, people, or there will be hell to pay!
Rich And Stupid is not so bad as Working For Rich And Stupid.
If it's not ready in time for Christmas, I'll have to shop around for other gifts...
