A bit early than expected, Linus Torvalds announced today the availability of the sixth Release Candidate (RC) milestone for the upcoming Linux 4.11 kernel series.

Coming one week after the RC5 build, Linux kernel 4.11 RC6 appears to be slightly bigger, but Linus Torvalds is assuring us that things are looking fairly normal for this development cycle, which means that if they stay like this until the next week when RC7 launches, the final release of Linux kernel 4.11 is coming April 23.
