Breaking: Linus is on travel. Did I miss something about this or is it just another number?

Is it safe to assume we can see this in Debian Stable around 2036?

Is there anything particularly interesting about this? The first number of the version changes when the second number gets too big, not for any other reason.

Did anyone see an anime avatar flash by for a fraction of a second before the content loaded? What was that?

> Linux 7.1 is also notable for its code removals. Driven by AI-assisted bug reporting, ISDN and other old network driver code was removed to avoid that influx of bug reporting against those very rarely touched or used drivers for obsolete hardware. Moving really old and unused code out of the kernel just to get less AI-assisted bug reports is IMO one of the best consequence ever of AI. I love it. We should start trimming the fat out of everything.

Looking forward for a new NTFS driver to try. I hope this new iteration will be better than ntfs3 from Paragon.

Personally, I'm pretty excited for this commit which fixes the slow WiFi I've had with the combination of my ISP's modem/router and my laptop. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/711a9c018ad252b2807... Hope it gets to Fedora soon!
