Ok, the last -rc obviously wasn't the last one after all, since here's a
new one. Enough changes that we needed another -rc, and the regression
list isn't emptying fast enough either (probably because a number of
people, including reporters, are vacationing).But this should in fact close a number of entries, so it's not all doom
and gloom.The actual bulk of this all is a new UVC video driver for the standard USB
Video Class specification. It's a new driver, so shouldn't cause any
regressions, but it's fairly sizable, which explains the dirstat:1.3% drivers/media/video/cx18/
1.4% drivers/media/video/saa7134/
78.0% drivers/media/video/uvc/
83.4% drivers/media/video/
84.4% drivers/media/
1.4% drivers/net/wireless/
2.3% drivers/net/
91.9% drivers/
2.6% fs/
1.7% net/ie 78% is just that one new driver, and almost 92% is driver updates in
general (although some of them are reverts, so they show up as diffs
against -rc8, but they actually cause the _total_ diff against 2.6.25 to
shrink a bit).The fs updates are partly some minor updates to 9p, ecryptfs, proc and
udf, but partly some delayed cleanup patches that went through Al. Bad Al.
But when Al sends me patches, I apply them. I worry what would happen if I
didn't.The rest is mainly small fixes (one-liners and "few-liners") all over the
place, many of them merged from Andrew's -mm queue.Linus

Heh. They were never removed automatically, it requires somebody to
remember to remove the old ones. Which I obviously haven't been doing
lately.Should be fixed now.

Hi Linus, Grant,
What about just getting rid of these files? I fail to see what purpose
they are serving (especially given how badly maintained they are.)--
