Linus Torvalds released 7.2-rc1
and closed the 7.2 merge window on June 28; by that time, 13,412
non-merge commits had found their way into the mainline. That makes this
the busiest merge window since the 6.7 development cycle in 2024 (15,418
commits, including 2,800 for the entire bcachefs development history).
Just under half of those commits arrived after LWN’s summary of the first half of the merge
window was written. As usual, the commits in the latter part of the
merge window were more heavily focused on fixes, but there were still a lot
of new features and significant changes merged as well.
