The kernel is codenamed as 'Shuffling Zombie Juror'.
"Hey, it was a normal two-week merge window, and it's closed now.", Linus said in an email. "I realise that as a number, 3.14 looks familiar to people, and I had naming requests related to that. But that's simply not how the nonsense kernel names work. You can console yourself with the fact that the name doesn't actually show up anywhere, and nobody really cares. So any pi-related name you make up will be 'quite' as relevant as the one in the main Makefile, so don't get depressed." it further read.
Two-thirds of the Linux 3.14-rc1 consists of driver related updates and patches. Meanwhile, the rest include architecture updates mostly dominated by ARM related things. Other architecture updates include those related to POWERPC, X86, MIPS, S390 and IA64.
