Linux 3.10 Merge Windows Closes

hypnosec writes "Linus Torvalds has released the Linux 3.10-rc1 kernel marking the closure of the 3.10 merge window. The Linux 3.10-rc1 is the second biggest rc release in years and the closure of the merge windows means that the features expected out of the Linux 3.9 successor are chalked out. "So this is the biggest -rc1 in the last several years (perhaps ever) at least as far as counting commits go," Linus notes in the release announcement."

Yes, nice. But why is this a story?

Everybody concerned will already have this news from other sources. Everybody else does likely not care, also because typical users use distro-kernels and not self-compiled kernels from kernel.org. And this is not even the kernel release, but the closing of the merge-window, i.e. only of interest to kernel developers, making it even more irrelevant as a /. story.
