A glitch in the merge window

On January 13, Linus Torvalds <a href="https://lwn.net/ml/linux-kernel/CAHk-=wjMWpmXtKeiN__vnNO4TcttZR-8dVvd_oBq+hjeSsWUwg@mail.gmail.com/" rel="nofollow">let
it be known</a> that he had lost power due to the bad weather in the US
Pacific Northwest.  As of this writing, he has not yet resurfaced, so the

	There's apparently about 100k people without power, and I doubt our
	neighborhood is the priority, so I expect to be without power for
	some time still. I hope I'm wrong, but a few years ago it took more
	than a week to restore power due to all the downed trees. It's
	hopefully nowhere near that, but..
