I will be away from linux-next starting Friday until Monday week (i.e.
Nov 2) attending Kernel Summit and taking a short break.  Two of my
past victims/helpers will also be at Kernel Summit.

So if you do the usual -rc7 (this Sunday) then release (a week later),
there will be no linux-next releases during that time.   If this is
seen as a problem, you could delay the release, or suprise everyone and
release this weekend :-)

I suspect a reasonable amount of code for v4.4 is still pending as we
only have ~8500 commits in linux-next so far (and nothing in the vfs
tree for example).  I would expect about 10000 commits in a normal
release.
