Subject: new stuff for 3.4 needs to be posted _now_

You may have noticed that Linus has released 3.4-rc6, and "we're
getting close to final 3.4". So, the merge window is around the
corner!

For those that need a reminder, the opening of the merge window is
a _deadline_ for new features. Once the merge window opens, only
fixes will be accepted for 3.5. In fact, any non-fix patches need to
already be in wireless-next when the merge window opens if you want
them in 3.5. That means you need to get them posted _now_, so they
can be reviewed and I can find time to merge them before the deadline.

You have been warned...this means you!

John

P.S. A combination of personal and business commitments and the
recent kerfuffle regarding bluetooth patches have conspired against my
normal merging duties and habits. I will do what I can to get back
on track, but if Linus does not release an -rc7 then there is a very
good chance that anything not already merged in wireless-next will not
make it for the 3.5 merge window. I apologize for the inconvenience,
but please do plan accordingly.
