    Indeed. Line counts for the announcement e-mails for the 2.6.12-rc*-mm*:

    2.6.12-rc1-mm1 2345
    2.6.12-rc1-mm2 3048
    2.6.12-rc1-mm3 2861
    2.6.12-rc1-mm4 2612
    2.6.12-rc2-mm1 2460
    2.6.12-rc2-mm2 2610
    2.6.12-rc2-mm3 2763
    2.6.12-rc3-mm1 1236
    2.6.12-rc3-mm2 105
    2.6.12-rc3-mm3 796

    (Presuming that the linecounts are at least roughly proportional to the
    churn in patches added/merged/dropped). The surprising thing for me this
    time around was the 223 "merged upstream" patches - seemed a bit high for
    this point in -rc3. I admit *not* having looked at the list in detail and
    they might all be minor bugfixes, or compared it to similar stages of
    previous -rc3's.

    And yes, it compiles and boots cleanly on my Dell laptop, for what that's worth. ;)
