Remember that 1.7 was frozen solid for several weeks of that month, so no it wouldn't have been merged in that time period. It's only just re-opened: master is currently 80 patches ahead of dizzy, 35 in the C-Pull I sent last night, and another 33 in my staging branch right now so it's not like we're taking it easy right now. Some context: during September it was obvious that various parties had an interest in aarch64 (Linaro and Wind River). Patches to fix build failures were being sent sporadically, a qemuarm64 machine was submitted, but there was no kernel for said machine to actually build. At the time there was no qemuarm64 machine that actually worked, so even merging the "simple" fixes on just faith that they're correct would be reckless considering we were freezing. This is why I suggested[1] that someone with a vested interest in aarch64 collate all the patches into a single branch and keep it rebased to master so that when master opens, it can be tested on *all* qemu architectures and merged. It appears that this hasn't happened. Will Linaro be able to create a branch that incorporates all of the patches and new machine that's been tested as a whole?
