The 6.8 kernel was released on March 10
after a typical, nine-week development cycle. Over this time, 1,938
developers contributed 14,405 non-merge changesets, making 6.8 into a
slower cycle than 6.7 (but busier than 6.6), with the lowest number of
developers participating since the 6.5 release. Still, there was
a lot going on during this cycle; read on for some of the details.
