The 6.5-rc4 kernel prepatch is out for
testing.

So here we are, and the 6.5 release cycle continues to look
entirely normal.

In fact, it’s *so* normal that we have hit on a very particular
(and peculiar) pattern with the rc4 releases: we have had *exactly*
328 non-merge commits in rc4 in 6.2, 6.3 and now 6.5. Weird
coincidence.

And honestly, that weird numerological coincidence is just about
the most interesting thing here.
