Subject: new stuff for 3.18 needs to be posted _now_

You may have noticed that Linus has released 3.17-rc7. So, the merge
window for 3.18 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 3.18. In fact, any non-fix patches need to
already be in wireless-next when the merge window opens if you want
them in 3.18. 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.

In fact, at this point I'm can't be sure that I will have enough
time to merge anything else in time for the window. Linus has been
a bit unclear about how this merge window will be handled, so YMMV --
we may have to play this one by ear...

You have been warned...this means you!

John
