There really is _nothing_ interesting here. There's just small changes mostly to random drivers, with some networking updates. Oh, and some MIPS defconfig updates.
The shortlog really tells the whole boring story - if you can get even half-way through without falling asleep, you've just proven yourself to be sufficiently caffeinated.
In fact, that may be the most exciting part of -rc9: the medical revolution it harbors as a caffeine deficiency test.
But please do test it.
And btw, I do think that I'll make 2.6.28 be a Christmas release (or Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Solstice, Insert-Favorite-Holiday, whatever). Because quite frankly, this kind of boredom won't help anything and I'll go stir crazy if I have to do this for another two weeks.
And I'll make the merge window longer for people who prefer getting drunk on glögg to being a useful kernel developer. Although you could do both: just prepare your tree to be pulled before christmas, and then you can be in a mulled-wine-induced stupor while _also_ feeling like a productive member of society during the holidays.
