Thanks, pulled. And btw - maybe I've already talked about this, but since next week is (hopefully) going to be the last week of rc release: since the networking pulls tend to be some of the bigger ones, one thing I've asked David to do in the past is to (a) not send a big networking pull request right before the final release and (b) let me know whether there is anything worrisome going on in networking. So if you send it on a Thursday (like this one), then that's all good - it's the "Oh, it's Sunday noon, I was planning on a final release in the afternoon, and I have a big networking fix pull request in my mailbox" that I'd prefer to not see. A heads up on the "Uhhuh - we have something bad going in the networking tree" kind of situation you can obviously send at any time. If there are known issues, I'll just make an rc8 - I prefer not to _have_ to, of course, but I'd always much rather be safe than release the final kernel just because I didn't know of some pending issue. (And the reverse - just a note saying "everything looks fine, none of this is scary and there's nothing pending that looks at all worrisome either" - for the last rc pull is obviously also always appreciated, but generally I'll assume that unless something else is said, we're in good shape).
