El Reg has noted:
Torvalds looses neatened number [release featuring] non-disruptive patches, Z13 support, and more.
[...] The new number isn't a sign of a major upgrade. As we've chronicled, Torvalds thinks that it looks a bit silly when version numbers go beyond x.19.
As the Benevolent Dictator for Life says in his post at the kernel mailing list:
since rc7 [...] It's mainly driver fixes (media, sound, pci, scsi target, drm, thermal..), misc arch updates (nios2 and x86), and scattered fixes elsewhere. Really not a lot during the last week.
After you folks hammered on the 7 release candidates and gave the kernel team bug reports, any drama seems to have been wrung out.
We previously discussed the never-need-to-reboot patching feature that has now been incorporated into the kernel.

Besides the dead rising and the living flying through the clouds, that does sound like the earth is doing battle with an astroid. As in, the earth flings itself against an hurling astroid and attempts to survive.
Maybe God throws rocks.
