Linux creator Linus Torvalds has released version 2.6.26 of the Linux kernel after a lengthy three-month development stretch since the 2.6.25 release involving nine release candidates. In announcing the release on the Linux Kernel Mailing List, Torvalds said the 87 days since 2.6.25 makes 2.6.26 a longer-than-usual release cycle. Torvalds said the changes from release candidate (RC) 9 are small, with the bulk (80 percent) being documentation updates.

Huh? Do you realize that IBM has contributed the patches? Read the actual commit messages? IBM has been contributing in the past to Xen too. When virtualization becomes more of a commodity, they still get to make money from services from a expanded market.
