Linus has released 2.6.26-rc1 yesterday. Here rc1 means this is the first "release candidate" for 2.6.26, and the merge window is now closed, so for the next two months or so before final 2.6.26 release only bugfixes will be accepted.
And I just can't resist the temptation to post my new favorite image here, so you can enjoy it too:

The majority of these 299 changesets that made it to 2.6.26-rc1 is about network namespaces.

Comments
could you also post a graph showing the openvz patch size against the different kernels? (Should be getting smaller, although there might be some increase due to the new features.)
(1) Devel kernels are not feature complete sometimes
(2) Devel kernels contain less bug fixes, security fixes and driver updates
But I think I will create such a graph when we'll get to 2.6.26.
