I'll weigh in on this one, basically a "me too". The only changelog entry I find unsettling is "Fix more loopback deadlocks" and all I have to say about it is: remember what happened when Al fixed the iput bug. I'm not suggesting that there was no basic idiot testing - I'm practically certain you did some yourself, but it would have been oh-so-nice to have an rc3 that lived for at least a short time on the kernel list before going to final.
By the way, great job managing this first major point release (2.4.16 doesn't really count ;-).
