What a difference a week makes. In a good way. A week ago, cutting rc6, I was not a happy person: the release had much too much noise in it, and I felt that an rc8 and even an rc9 might well be a real possibility.
Now it's a week later, and rc7 looks much better. Yeah, there's random stuff all over (biggest contribution: networking, both core and drivers), but it's a lot smaller than rc6, and none of it makes me feel unhappy. Pretty much all the patches are tiny, and I think the patch that removes the old useless x86 Centaur OOSTORE option is probably the biggest in the lot of them. And the only other patch that migth challenge it in size is also just removing code ("r8152: disable the ECM mode"). Now, things might change, and maybe next week ends up being another ugly week, but with some luck that won't happen and this is the last rc. Go out and test. It all looks good..
