Once upon a time, Linus Torvalds would try to set a pace of about 1,000
changesets pulled into the mainline each day during the early part of the
merge window. For 6.2, though, the situation is different; no less than
9,278 non-merge changesets were pulled during the first two days. Needless
to say, these commits affect the kernel in numerous ways, even though there
are fewer fundamental changes than were seen in 6.1.
