so i've been busily merging stuff, and just wanted to send out a quick
reminder that i warned people in the 39 announcement that this might
be a slightly shorter merge window than usual, so that i can avoid
having to make the -rc1 release from japan using my slow laptop (doing
"allyesconfig" builds on that thing really isn't in the cards, and i
like to do those to verify things - even if we've already had a few
cases where arch include differences made it less than effective in
finding problems).

And judging by the merge window so far, that early close (probably
sunday - i'll be on airplanes next monday) looks rather likely. I
already seem to have a fairly sizable portion of linux-next in my
tree, and there haven't been any huge upsets.

So anybody who was planning a last-minute "please pull" - this is a
heads-up. Don't do it, you might miss the window entirely.

Did i miss any major development mailing lists with stuff pending?

ps. The voices in my head also tell me that the numbers are getting
too big. I may just call the thing 2.8.0. And i almost guarantee that
this ps is going to result in more discussion than the rest, but when
the voices tell me to do things, i listen.
