Do you understand what the word "next" means? We don't call it "linux-this", do we? This is not a new rule. Things are supposed to be ready *before* the merge window (that's what makes it "next", get it?). I will also point you to to https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wj_HcgFZNyZHTLJ7qC2613zphKDtLh6ndciwopZRfH0aQ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ where I'm being pretty damn clear about things. And before you start bleating about "I needed more heads up", never mind that this isn't even a new rule, and never mind what that "next" word means, let me just point to the 6.1-rc6 notice too: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wgUZwX8Sbb8Zvm7FxWVfX6CGuE7x+E16VKoqL7Ok9vv7g@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ and if the meaning of "next" has eluded you all these years, maybe it was high time you learnt. Hmm? Linus
