The delay may be because v6.1-rc1 brought in more regressions for us
than any other -rc1 in recent memory. Our CI's been suffering, and our
folks have been spending a lot of time debugging, bisecting and
reporting. (And before you ask, yes, we're going to be more proactive in
reporting issues we find in linux-next.)

That said, Rodrigo's been in charge of drm-intel-next this cycle, maybe
it's time to backmerge drm-next?


BR,
Jani.
