From :<br>Linus Torvalds<br>To :<br>Linux Kernel Mailing List<br>Subject :<br>Linux 7.2-rc6<br>Date :<br>Sun, 02 Aug 2026 16:34:22 -0700<br>Message-ID :
Hmm. This rc is huge. Even by the "new normal" standards this is a<br>big rc, and I think it's the biggest rc6 we've had in years at least<br>by commit count.
The stats don't look particularly strange: it's just under 60%<br>drivers, 20% networking, and 20% "rest" (arch, tooling, filesystems -<br>nothing particularly odd). And that driver side is the usual gpu and<br>networking drivers, but not exclusively so - we have sound, spi, ata<br>etc in there too.
So a lot of networking stuff, which is at least partly the whole<br>continued backlog from conference timing. I hope that's all there is<br>to this, but it is a bit unnerving how bit the changes are at this<br>point, even if nothing in here actually looks all that strange.
There's nothing in here that screams "bad" or implies that the release<br>needs delaying, but I sure hope we calm down for the remaining two<br>weeks.
