new stuff for 3.4 needs to be posted _now_
You may have noticed that Linus has released 3.3-rc6, and doesn't necessarily plan to go beyond -rc7. So, the merge window is around the corner!
For those that need a reminder, the opening of the merge window is a _deadline_ for new features. Once the merge window opens, only fixes will be accepted for 3.4. In fact, any non-fix patches need to already be in wireless-next when the merge window opens if you want them in 3.4. That means you need to get them posted _now_, so they can be reviewed and I can find time to merge them before the deadline.
You have been warned...this means you!

Linus released 3.3 yesterday (Sunday, 3/18). The merge window for the mainline kernel is open.
Anything not already merged in wireless-next (or wireless-testing) will not be merged for 3.4 unless it is a fix. If you have already posted a fix that is not clearly marked as such, then you might send me a reminder about it. Otherwise, patches will have to wait for 3.5.
Merging for 3.5 will not occur after the close of the merge window (~2 weeks from now). Please plan accordingly.
