A day later than usual, here's the sixth Release Candidate (RC) milestone of the upcoming Linux 4.12 kernel series, as announced today by Linus Torvalds on the kernel mailing list.

We have to admit that we were a little worried that Linus Torvalds didn't announce the new RC release of Linux 4.12 yesterday, but the only reason for that would be because he's traveling, and so it turned out to be. Linus is currently in Beijing, China, most probably attending the LinuxCon ContainerCon CloudOpen China conference that takes place between June 19-20, 2017.

However, Linus Torvalds gives us good news on the progress of the upcoming Linux 4.12 kernel, saying that the RC6 milestone is again smaller on size, at least compared to last week's Release Candidate, and hopes for Linux 4.12 series to have a normal development cycle with only seven RCs and not eight. This can only mean that we'll be getting it as soon as July 2, 2017.
