Same old deal - except it's been almost two weeks since -rc5. That said,
the diff is actually about the same size, so I guess that means things are
calming down. Most of the diff (bulk-wise) is updates to the new gspca
(standard USB webcam) driver, although some of it is also removal of the
dead miropcm20* driver. As a result, the dirstat looks like this:

3.7% arch/x86/
8.0% arch/
9.2% drivers/media/radio/
41.7% drivers/media/video/gspca/
49.3% drivers/media/video/
60.7% drivers/media/
3.1% drivers/net/
71.1% drivers/
3.9% fs/
5.5% kernel/
3.3% net/tipc/
6.3% net/

but as usual, the patches most people hopefully care about tend to be
small details, and so more regressions should hopefully be closed now,
some by just reverting the commits that caused breakage.

I don't think anything special merits explicit comment, but you can get a
flavor for things by scanning the appended shortlog.
