The 7.3-rc6 kernel prepatch is out for
testing. Linus said:

Next week might look a bit different: we’ve got the annual
maintainer summit and the Linux plumbers conference going on , so
I’ll be on the road, as will a number of other maintainers. That
may or may not end up changing the stats for -rc7. But it’s
unlikely to affect the release schedule, although the fact that I
have my yearly family vacation the week after that might make the
next merge window a bit wonky.
