"It is becoming clear that I might as well not release the final 3.1 until after my upcoming vacation early October - otherwise the next merge window would just be total chaos. A merge window with kernel.org being off just really wouldn't work, and doing a release only to then have some chaotic merge window followed by travel seems crazy."
