Announcement for Linux 4.9-rc5 [1]:

> Back to my Sunday schedule, things look fairly normal. Calm first part
> of the week, with most fixes coming in towards the end.. I'm used to
> it by now.
>
> Things have definitely gotten smaller, so a normal release schedule
> (with rc7 being the last one) is still looking possibel despite the
> large size of 4.9. But let's see how things work out over the next
> couple of weeks. In the meantime, there's a lot of normal fixes in
> here, and we just need more testing.
>
> The stats for rc5 look extremely boring (which is a good thing). Two
> thirds driver updates, 10% arch updates, 10% filesystems, the rest
> "misc". Nothing really stands out, with the possible exception of the
> re-enablement of "-Wmaybe-uninitialized" again after Arnd fixed it all
> up.
>
> So go out and test,
