2.6.23, Not Yet?

It's been five days since Linus release 2.6.23-RC9 and still no sign when will final 2.6.23 kernel released. Meanwhile, in LKML people are busy introducing new features that are being planned to be pushed in Linus' tree in the merge window (shortly after 2.6.23 released and after the x86 merge process is finished, since Linus said it will be the first thing after 2.6.23 gets their way). It's been a long process and i hope it will be a smooth release with as little regression as possible.
