The Linux 3.7 kernel has been delayed by one week as Linus Torvalds has released the Linux 3.7-rc8 instead (http://paritynews.com/software/item/504-linus-torvalds-delays-linux-37-releases-37-rc8-instead). Because of some hiccups following the 'resurrection of a kswapd issue,' Torvalds wasn't comfortable releasing version 3.7 this week and instead went ahead with another release candidate. Torvalds revealed in his release announcement (http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1212.0/00871.html) that because of this delay, the merge window for Linux 3.8 will close just around Christmas time.
