Subj : Kernel prepatch 6.19-rc1 To : All From : LWN.net Date : Sun Dec 14 2025 06:40:07 Linus has released 6.19-rc1, perhaps a bit earlier than expected. So it's Sunday afternoon in the part of the world where I am now, so if somebody was looking at trying to limbo under the merge window timing with one last pull request and is taken by surprise by the slightly unusual timing of the rc1 release, that failed. Teaching moment, or random capricious acts? You be the judge. https://lwn.net/Articles/1050381/ --- SBBSecho 3.32-Linux * Origin: Palantir * palantirbbs.ddns.net * Pensacola, FL * (86:200/23) .
