Subj : Kernel prepatch 6.16-rc1 To : All From : LWN.net Date : Mon Jun 09 2025 06:40:08 Linus has released 6.16-rc1 and closed the merge window for this release. I think we had a fairly normal merge window, although I did get the feeling that there were a few more "late straggler" pull requests than usual. Not to a huge degree, but there was definitely an upward bump at the end of the second week. But on the whole, all the stats look pretty normal. https://lwn.net/Articles/1024494/ --- SBBSecho 3.27-Linux * Origin: Palantir * palantirbbs.ddns.net * Pensacola, FL * (86:200/23) .
