Subject: Linux 3.11-rc5

Sadly, the numerology doesn't quite work out, and while releasing the
final 3.11 today would be a lovely coincidence (Windows 3.11 was
released twenty years ago today), it is not to be.

Instead, we have 3.11-rc5.

Which is showing signs of calming down, and is noticeably smaller than
previous rc's (both in number of commits and in size of patch). Let's
hope that trend isn't just a fluke.

There really doesn't seem to be anything major here. The radeon
changes are likely the most noticeable, but many of them are for the
dynamic power management that is still off by default.. Other than
that, misc media fixes, arch updates, some small filesystem updates
etc. Nothing really stands out.

Personally, I don't consider WfW 3.11 all that impressive, especially when it requires a 386 anyway. You can tell that I hate the MS OS/2 2.0 fiasco quite a lot:?http://yuhongbao.blogspot.ca/2012/12/about-ms-os2-20-fiasco-px00307-and-dr.html

And I didn't mention the CMD640/RZ1000 in this blog article, where basically the two IDE channels was not really independent, leading to data corruption in multitasking OSes. Let's just say that if OS/2 2.x actually replaced DOS/Windows instead of turning into an entire fiasco, these hardware would not likely have shipped with the problems.
