Things are looking pretty normal for this time of the release process.

All the stats look very regular, and the diffstat mostly does too.

I say "mostly", just because we had a bunch of xfs fixes last week,

which makes the diffstat skew that way more than usual. But even that

is mainly for a self-test addition. The actual code changes are much

smaller.

So instead of the usual 50+% drivers, the rc4 diffstat is about "one

third drivers, one third filesystems, one third rest". Not all of the

filesystem stuff is xfs, of course - we have cifs, btrfs and ksmbd

fixes too.

On the driver side, it's a mix, but networking and gpu shows up as

usual. With USB and thunderbolt fixes showing up, and the rest being

fairly random.

And "the rest" is all the normal stuff. Self-tests, core networking,

architecture updates, nothing odd there.

Let's hope things stay normal. And, as normal, testing and reporting

issues is appreciated,
