After lots of hard work we're ready for 2.6.27 to go stable. It includes the usual mix of fixes, features, and new hardware support. We do have a few open regressions remaining, but all have been reported upstream and will continue to be attacked. This release solves several bugs which we were unable to fix in 2.6.26: #209786 #232643 #238153 #239182 #242090 #245364 #248745 Please mark stable as soon as possible, since we won't be doing any more 2.6.26 releases.

That's a bug in nvidia-drivers, not in the kernel. Please file a bug with the nvidia maintainers. I gave them plenty of notice that 2.6.27 would go stable on December 15th. Thanks.
Stabilize vanilla-sources as well, thanks.
x86 stable
amd64 takes the lead!!!
arm/ia64/sparc stable
Both stable on alpha. I know it's not been 30 days (and we're not CC'ed) but I've been using both for a while now on different machines.
ppc/ppc64 can't really do anything about the openafs issue (bug #236438), at least wrt to vanilla. If we want to reverse the patch in gentoo-sources, we'll do it in that bug. Marked ppc/ppc64 stable.
HPPA skips 2.6.27 as it's evil.
(And closing.)
