The 6.0-rc6 kernel prepatch is out for
testing.

So this is an artificially small -rc release, because this past
week we had the Maintainers’ Summit in Dublin (along with OSS EU
and LPC 2022), so we’ve had a lot of maintainers traveling.

Or – putting my ridiculously optimistic hat on – maybe things are
just so nice and stable that there just weren’t all that many
fixes?
