Rawhide 3.19 schedule-ish

[Josh Boyer]

Hi All,

The 3.19 merge window has been open for a bit over a week now.  As
you've (maybe) noticed, rawhide continues to be on the 3.18 kernel.
Last week the kernel team was travelling and handling a merge window
while travelling is recipe for disaster (and/or insanity).

That means that this would be the week to start landing merge window
builds.  However, most of us will be on PTO for the end of December,
which would leave rawhide in a somewhat untidy state.  Even getting to
-rc1 and then disappearing for an extended time doesn't seem all that
pleasant.

For now, we'll leave rawhide tracking the 3.18.y releases and pick up
the 3.19-rcX kernels when we return.  I will send a call for testing
once we start rebasing again.  Until then, a special present to you
will be a bit of (maybe unwanted) stability.

If you have any questions/comments, please let us know.

I was going to ask about this as I have gotten used to seeing rc0 builds 
half way through the merge window. I was goping to ask, but decided to 
just do a build for myself rather than ask you guys to do it for me. 
(Since I'm guessing not many other people would benefit.) I wanted to do a 
short test of using lz4 for squashfs. (Oh look something new and shiny 
to play with.)

I rebased rawhide git to 3.19-rc2, but I did not start a build.  Looks
like Linus just tagged 3.19-rc3 as of 10 minutes ago, so I will rebase
git tomorrow and then kick off a build.  Should be available in
Wednesday's rawhide (and koji before then).

FYI.
