    There it is.

    The most painful part of 2.6.13 is likely to be the fact that we made x86
    use the generic PCI bus setup code for assigning unassigned resources.
    That uncovered rather a lot of nasty small details, but should also mean
    that a lot of laptops in particular should be able to discover PCI devices
    behind bridges that the BIOS hasn't set up.

    We've hopefully fixed up all the problems that the longish -rc series
    showed, and it shouldn't be that painful, but if you have device problems,
    please make a report that at a minimum contains the unified diff of the
    output of "lspci -vvx" running on 2.6.12 vs 2.6.13. That might give us
    some clues.

    The changes since -rc7 are pretty small, full shortlog and diffstat of
    that appended.

    As to the new world order: I'm actually going to be away for most of next
    week, but in general we should now try to do all major merges within the
    first two weeks of the release. After that, we go into calm-down mode, and
    if you have work that didn't make the cut, you get to wait until 2.6.14.

    The plan is that this should bring in the time between releases, so that
    even stuff that misses the deadline won't have to wait _too_ long for the
    next one.
