Merge window
^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Please do not expect large patch series to be handled during the merge
-window or even during the week before. Such patches should be submitted in
-mergeable state *at* *least* a week before the merge window opens.
-Exceptions are made for bug fixes and *sometimes* for small standalone
-drivers for new hardware or minimally invasive patches for hardware
-enablement.
+Please do not expect patches to be reviewed or merged by tip
+maintainers around or during the merge window. The trees are closed
+to all but urgent fixes during this time. They reopen once the merge
+window closes and a new -rc1 kernel has been released.

During the merge window, the maintainers instead focus on following the
upstream changes, fixing merge window fallout, collecting bug fixes, and
allowing themselves a breath. Please respect that.
-The release candidate -rc1 is the starting point for new patches to be
-applied which are targeted for the next merge window.

So called _urgent_ branches will be merged into mainline during the
stabilization phase of each release.
