Torvalds’ 6.3-rc4 announcement to read as follows
All is well with Linux Kernel 6.3-rc4 development. All statistics, including most of diffstat, look normal.
The reason I say "most" is that we fixed a number of xfs bugs last week, which made diffstat look more numerous than usual. Even so, the actual size of the modified code is much smaller than expected.
Normally, more than 50% of the diffstat that drives the program is different from 6.3-rc4, where one-third is driver tweaks, one-third is filesystem tweaks, and one-third is other parts.
