Ok, this missed a week (it should really have been -rc4, and we should
have had a -rc3 a week ago), but the fact is, with a lot of people at the
kernel summit and at OLS, it was so quiet for a week that there simply was
no point.
In fact, it's been pretty quiet since too, which I attribute to 2.6.18-rc2
just being so good, rather than the fact that it's summer and most people
have probably been at the beach (or wished they were).
Or maybe it was just me missing some emails due to being away at the
kernel summit. But I'll obviously blame just about anything else before
admitting my own incompetence, so I seriously doubt that was it.
Anyway, shortlog appended, but there really hasn't been tons of stuff.
Some network (and network driver) updates, infiniband, some scsi, and some
fairly minor architecture updates (sparc, x86-64, arm).
