Summary
Linus Torvalds said Linux 7.2 should ship next weekend after rc7, with no current reason to delay unless something “really bad” emerges.
rc7 came in larger than usual, but Torvalds said most changes are small fixes scattered across drivers, filesystems, networking and architecture code.
AI agents are now surfacing bugs faster than humans can, he said, making bigger release candidates less alarming than they would have been a year ago.
A few fixes in s390/zcrypt, btrfs and netfilter ipset drew attention, but Torvalds indicated they were not serious enough to derail the normal seven-RC release cycle.
