Nope.

IOW, for the upcoming merge window (2.6.37), Linus does not want to see
new features done after 2.6.36-rc6.  He wants to sure that by the time
the merge window opens, that things have received some testing and
validation, particularily in linux-next.

This means, that most maintainers (myself included) will not be taking
patches/features for 2.6.N merge window after 2.6.(N-1)-rc6 is released,
unless they are regression fixes.
