Linus Torvalds, Creator of Linux & Git, in conversation with Dirk Hohndel
summary
Kernel 4.12 ships as 4.12-rc6 release timing shifts because an embargoed userland security fix forces a Monday-night workaround, showing the weekly release cadence and its operational limits. Development flow centers on integration by a few tens of core maintainers, frequent incremental hardware and architecture updates, and surprising churn in legacy areas — notably the ufs filesystem saw a surprising number of fixes. Distributed work is powered by git maintained by Junio Hamano, whose model and hashes drive widespread adoption beyond the kernel.
