Here's why this bothers me so much. There's already a lot of automation for patches getting backported to the numerous stable kernels. In theory those updates are focused on important or minor fixes, so distributions just pull in the latest stable release and it shows up in security updates on your machines. We _already_ have problems with problematic fixes slipping into the stable kernel series, and llm reviews are going to make it worse.

Cool it's back, but now I still have a release without changes in the release message 🤦

If none of this makes sense to you, don’t worry.

#Qwen 3.8 27B is excellent, but it defaults to wildly overthinking things

Does anybody else use Arch (btw) as one of their CI runner platforms for the explicit purpose of being a "canary in the coal mine" for breaking changes coming down the pipeline in some dependency?
Like, sure we have some users on Arch.
But what I care more about is that whatever breaks on Arch today will probably break in, say, the next Ubuntu release, and the Debian release after that. I don't want that to be a surprise.

Many US public parks sit surprisingly close to hazardous waste sites and facilities that release toxic chemicals
While parks, playgrounds and hiking trails are generally thought of as "healthy" spaces, researchers from the University of Michigan have found that many of them overlap with old toxic waste sites or sit dangerously close to facilities that actively release hazardous chemicals. Their new study, published in Scientific Reports, looks at the proximity of 151,366 U.S. public parks to facilities in the EPA's Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) and Superfund sites (SFS).

Next time answer is no we will not treat this like a regular release when it is an emergency release. Program fixes should be treated as an emergency fix, not a full-blown production release. There is a documented process for this, but I guess it is for 'political reasons' not to go that route.
Also, I will refuse to have an emergency release done on the same day as a production/UA release. Stress levels are climbing.
