Linux 4.3 Bringing Stable Intel Skylake Support, Reworked NVIDIA Driver
An anonymous reader writes: Mr. Torvalds has released Linux 4.3-rc1 this weekend. He characterized the release as "not particularly small — pretty average in size, in fact. Everything looks fairly normal, in fact, with about 70% of the changes being drivers, 10% architecture updates, and the remaining 20% are spread out." There are a number of new user-facing features including stabilized Intel "Skylake" processor support, initial AMD R9 Fury graphics support, SMP scheduler optimizations, file-system fixes, a reworked open-source NVIDIA driver, and many Linux hardware driver updates.

You could always use Vim ...
Or if you are really evil ... Vim mode for Emacs
If you really want to go straight to hell ... Emacs mode for Vim
Pick you religion / devil :-)
Nothing changes for the users, because the ext4 driver actually handles ext2/3/4, and it's the one all distributions ship.
People who have a ext3 filesystem already have it handled by the ext4 driver, almost nobody was actually using the ext3 driver that got removed.
