The 7.3-rc2 kernel prepatch is out for
testing. Linus said:

This didn’t *feel* like a particularly busy rc2, but it clearly
was. rc2 is usually the quietest time when people take a breather
after the merge window and it takes a while to start finding
bugs. But not this time – this is a “full fat” rc release. […]

Nothing looks particularly odd, even if the rc2 timing is a bit
unusual. It might be just random, but we’ll obviously all blame it
on AI, because whether that’s really the cause or not, it’s an easy
thing to blame 😉
