����So the last week was much quieter than the preceding ones, which makes me suspect that one reason -rc7 was bigger than I liked was that people were gaming the system and had timed some of their pull requests for just before the release, explaining why -rc7 was big enough that I didn't actually want to do a final release last week.Please don't do that.
����Anyway. Whatever the reason, this week has been very quiet, which makes me much more comfortable doing the final 3.9 release, so I guess the last -rc8 ended up working. Because not only aren't there very many commits here, even the ones that made it really are tiny and not pretty obscure and not very interesting.
����Also, this obviously means that the merge window is open. I won't be merging anything today, but if you start sending me your pull requests(Konrad already sent in his Xen pull request for the 3.10 merge window a week ago), tomorrow the flood gates start opening..
