At kernel summit I pledged to put out weekly where-we're-at summaries,
mainly so that subsystem maintainers could get an estimate of when the next
major kernel release will be, so they can plan their merge windows.
Of course, I don't have a clue when the next release will be because the
timing is driven by perception-of-stability. But I can guess.
Current kernel version:
2.6.13-rc5-git3
ETA for 2.6.13:
August 12-19

That's all 2.6.14 material - no subsystem merges pending.
Open bugs:
This is based on my reading of what's real and of what's worth
attending to. Quite a few things get culled up-front.
There are several emailed bug reports which are probably live bugs but
they have gone stale hence I have asked the reporters to raise bugzilla
reports, so more post-2.6.12 bugs will appear as the reporters retest
2.6.13-rc6.
I really don't want to have to track bugs which aren't in bugzilla. If
an emailed bug report comes in and we can address it within a few days
and a few emails then fine. If that doesn't happen I'll be asking
reporters to open bugzilla reports.
All bugs reported prior to the 2.6.12 release have been discarded.
I'll henceforth track bugs across succeeding major release, so this list
will just grow.
There are 60 bugs here. They're almost all post-2.6.12 regressions.
Longer-term we simply have to do better than this, else we'll stabilise
at a pretty buggy level. No matter what process changes we make, the
bottom line is that developers/maintainers will need to spend more of
their time working with reporters on fixing bugs.
If you wish to provide an update on one of the below bugs, please do it
in bugzilla if it's bugzilla-based. Or in reply to the original email
thread if it's email-based. Failing all that, please at least rewrite
the Subject: when replying so I don't lose my mind, thanks.
Lots of USB stuff, some ACPI and we seem to have broken parallel-IDE.

Looks like SELinux is removing IDR entries which don't exist.
