From the first paragraph of the announcement:[1] “makes me suspect [...] people were gaming the system and had timed some of their pull requests for just before the release”. Does anyone know what Linus means by that? [1] http://lwn.net/Articles/548799/ http://lwn.net/Articles/548799/

Pull requests this late in the -rc cycle should contain only important bugfixes, other changes should normally wait for the next kernel release. For example Linus ignored some pull requests sent for 3.6-rc2 that didn't really belong there: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/16/577 https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/16/577
