Subject: Linux 6.18-rc1
Two weeks have passed, and 6.18-rc1 has been tagged and pushed out.
Things look fairly normal: size-wise this is pretty much right in the
middle of the pack, and nothing particular stands out in the shortlog
of merges this merge window appended below. About half the diff is
drivers, with the res being all over: vfs and filesystems, arch
updates (although much of that is actually devicetree stuff, so it's
arguably more driver-related), tooling, rust support etc etc.
This was one of the good merge windows where I didn't end up having to
bisect any particular problem on nay of the machines I was testing.
Let's hope that success mostly translates to the bigger picture too.
