The 6.3-rc1 kernel prepatch is out, and the
merge window is closed for this development cycle.

And of course, smooth or not, now that the merge window is closed,
we need to make sure it all *works*. We had a couple of exciting
merges already, and I think the fallout from that got sorted out,
but I’m sure there’s more to come. Let’s hope the calming-down
period of 6.3 works as well as the merge window did… Knock wood.
