    In the end to me it seems the value realized in this could not be a demonstrateably improved kernel patch review process without another non-consensual round of buggy patch submissions so it is very important to consider precedent and posture now. Arguably the immediate value realized has been the identification of a number of (historically) maybe not so great collaborators.

    > Another lesson is something we already knew: kernel maintainers (and maintainers of many other free-software projects) are overworked and do not have the time to properly review every patch that passes through their hands. They are, as a result, forced to rely on the trustworthiness of the developers who submit patches to them.

    Spot on.

    > The kernel development process is, arguably, barely sustainable when that trust is well placed; it will not hold together if incoming patches cannot, in general, be trusted.

    Hold off on that pessimism, we got a great thing going here and on the way to Mars, pat on the back:

    I did read the apology, it is a good apology, as a member of "Linux communities" (linux from 15yo) apology accepted. My intent is not to harm any reputations but clearly communicate my belief in the need to consider how this research may be used as precedent.
