Linus always cracks me up with these, but whenever I read them in its entirety, he's being incredibly serious. He's brilliant.

So, another release candidate will be necessary.

From Linus's post:

The 5.15 cycle over-all remains one of the smaller cycles (at least counting commits), so I wouldn't have expected this to be one that requires an extra rc, but that may be what ends up happening unless the upcoming week is really nice and calm.

So, still up in the air. Maybe, maybe not. It's on us, everyone. We can do this.
