@arnd Odd, why doesn't any of those companies actually talk to me about this? That's the reason they are being shortened, no one is communicating anything to me.

@bert_hubert My big problem is, who defines "known"?

With our without "exploitable" the main issue seems to be ignored whereby the EU will have to spin up a European version of what China and the US attempt to do with their vulnerability tracking efforts, despite them failing horribly for open source software.

I think the phrase I'm looking for is, "Ik zie beren op de weg", right?

Me: we have 50TB on our backend storage system that stores kernel tarballs, so this should be plenty for the next 5+ years.
@gregkh: challenge accepted!

You get a stable kernel release, and you get a stable kernel release, and you get a stable kernel release!

Hopefully things now settle down to the normal constant crazy pace we are used to (1-2 releases a week), instead of the mass of releases we had in the past few days.

@kernellogger Famous last words, yet-another 5.15.y release is now out as well.

@killyourfm Just a short note, your recent #mixtape playlists have been the soundtrack for my recent kernel development and release work for the past few weeks, great work! Many thanks for sharing them!

@fiee That works too, like perl, there's more than one way to do it!

"The magic to remember is type [ESC]ZZ to save and exit."

Parents, don't forget to have the uncomfortable conversation with your children about vim _before_ they leave for college and are exposed to the siren-call of vscode.

@ignacio I have no idea how Ubuntu does anything, go ask them how they determine what is to be added to those old and obsolete kernel versions. You're paying them for that support, so you deserve to know how it is managed. Good luck!

@ignacio No public ones that I know of sorry. Ask your favorite Android/Cloud/Distro vendor for what they use if you are curious. Otherwise, just don't worry about it and always use the latest stable kernel releases and you will be fine.

@kernellogger Because we moved the date to be further away? So should that be "push back"? "move back"? I don't know, time is hard :)

Turns out almost no one uses extra-long LTS kernels, so let's slowly unwind from that interesting experiment:

@killyourfm @pnpnerd @elementary @thunderbird Send patches or bug reports, that's more than enough.

@abergmeier @kernellogger

1) the only incompatibility is "do not send HTML email or modify the text of my message", which all email clients can be configured to disable except for Exchange. So don't use Exchange, even Microsoft kernel developers don't use it.

2) Run the tests on your end first, we provide them all for you to do so locally, don't wait for others to find problems that you could with the tools. To not do that yourself is a bit odd.

Realize that we get 200+ new kernel developers every 3 months, so these huge hurdles don't seem to be all that large to others, perhaps you need a better email client?

Have fun!

b4 0.12.0 is available

Everyone using "b4 send" must upgrade to stop hitting Python email module bugs.
