The 5.14-rc2 kernel prepatch is out for
testing. Linus says:

At least in pure number of commits, this is the biggest rc2 we’ve
had during the 5.x cycle. Whether that is meaningful or not, who
knows – it might be just random timing effects, or it might
indicate that this release is not going to be one of those nice and
calm ones. We’ll just have to wait and see.

In total, 421 non-merge changesets were pulled into the mainline between
-rc1 and -rc2.
