Which didn't actually seem to be the case at all earlier this week - we had what appeared to be really nasty core bugs, and together with rc6 being bigger than previous rc's, I was really not feeling all that good about this release there for a while".
He describe that the worst and nasty bugs are cleared up in this release. One of the major highlighted fixes of this release candidate is fixing the compiler issue which is one of the scary and hard to debug. This compiler issue has fairly simple workaround so that developers didn't end up as a blacklist compilers. Also, review recent Kernel News to know what's new for Kernel developers ?
The Kernel 3.16 RC7 includes various bug fixes, but doesn't includes any special new feature which might entice to Linux users. The RC7 is one of the smaller candidate if you compared it with previous RCs. Linus state that, this might be the last RC but lets hope what happen in next week.
