By the time that Linus Torvalds released
6.14-rc1 and closed the merge window for this development cycle, some
9,307 non-merge changesets had been pulled into the mainline
repository — the lowest level of merge-window activity seen in years.
There were, nonetheless, a number of interesting changes in the
5,000 commits pulled since the
first-half merge-window summary was written.
