What exactly do you mean by "3 days after"?

Are you watching the linux-stable-rc branches?  Those are there only for
CI systems and are not a "real" -rc release at all until we do this
email announcement.

The -rc1 release here does not look at all like what was in the
linux-stable-rc branch 3 days ago if you look closely.  There are a lot
fewer patches now than before, and other changes.

So again, unless you are running a CI system, don't look at the
linux-stable-rc branches.

thanks,
