Subject: Linux 2.6.39

So it's delayed a few days, and I really was struggling with the
decision of whether I wanted to cut a final release at all: it could
easily have made more sense to just do an -rc8. However, since I'm
going to be at LinuxCon Japan in two weeks, the choice for me ended up
whether I should just release, or drag it out *three* more weeks, or
have some really messy merge window with a break in between.

None of those choices really looked all that great. There were
certainly more code changes since -rc7 than I really was all that
happy with, and some outstanding discussion. Doing another -rc
wouldn't necessarily have been a bad idea, but then I just decided
that if I held off making the release, next week my timing choices
would have been even worse.

So there it is. The one thing that pushed me over the edge is that
this release window has been fairly "easy". -rc2 was calm, -rc3 was
_really_ calm, and -rc7 was tiny. And while this has more commits than
-rc7 had, I didn't feel like that changed the overall picture much: we
really did have much less churn after the merge window closed than we
usually do. Which actually makes me pretty happy about the state of
2.6.39.

(Just to put that "calm after the merge window" in quantitative
numbers: doing some git statistics, we have fewer commits after -rc1
than any of the last ten releases).

As to the merge window for 2.6.40 (which is obviously open now):
because of the delay, the normal 14 days would be with the last two
days when I'm already in Japan. Which is certainly not unthinkable
(I'll have my laptop and access to wifi, and could do some final
tweaks that way even if I wouldn't want to do a bigger portion of a
merge window while traveling). But I do want to warn that if I get the
feeling that I've merged "enough", I might just make it easier for
myself and cut it two days short and release just before I leave on
Memorial day (which for the non-US based of you is May 30th this
year).

Having a slightly shorter (and actually smaller, not just more
hurried) merge window and release cycle for 2.6.40 might not be a
horrible fate. Of course, I just know that you're all actively trying
to sabotage that dream of mine.

But I can still dream, can't I?
