8 Things change. LWN is reporting on Andrew's "Looking forward to 2.6.13"
9 post to LKML. From the context, it appears not everything mentioned as
10 mergeable will be in 2.6.13, but some will be, with others showing up
11 later. He is saying, however, that there's nothing serious holding items
12 he considers mergable up, so they'll be merged sooner rather than later,
13 whether "sooner" == .13 or .14 or whatever, more likely than .20, in any
14 case.

16 Reiser4 is considered mergeable, but with some caveats that might mean
17 post .13, still, it now looks to be .14 or .15-ish, rather than .20-ish,
18 provided egos don't get too far in the way, always a possibility with Hans
19 Reiser, it seems, unfortunately.

21 There are some other patches mentioned of significance, including
22 swsusp_SMP, which I've personally been waiting for, but I'll refrain from
23 mentioning any more, and just point to the LWN article with the whole list
24 and comments, plus references to the archive thread for more details.
