Not quite yet - Linus hasn't said "go"
He rarely if ever says "go." The kernel X is released, and people send
pull requests to Linus for X+1. He typically merges immediately, but
does not push out the first set of merges for a few days.
The stuff pushed to Linus for kernel X+1 should have already been living
in linux-next (libata-dev.git#NEXT, to us).
The bits that probably should be delayed a bit more (if any) IMHO are the
32bit enables for hardware that doesn't use 32bit by default on the
drivers/ide stack, and tweaks for obscure old hardware that won't get
much testing.
Agreed mostly... I still want to push fixes even if for obscure hardware.
