Hi Jason and Doug,
Here are most of our updates for 4.17. I will follow this up with a small 16B series then I still have a few more patches that are waiting on some more thorough testing. Should be able to get them on the list tomrrow or Friday at the latest, wanted to get these out now. I don't think anything is really that scary in here.
Probably not going to happen for 4.17.
As a general rule series that are not on the list before the merge window opens are not going to be make it. Linus discourages doing things at the last minute as it encourages bad behavior that reduces release quality.
I think that's a fine policy, and usually try to stick to that myself, but got behind this time by a couple days. To be fair though, I wouldn't call this last minute.
'last minute' was sending series during the rc6 time period.
After release is 'too late'
