Keynote: Dirk Hohndel in conversation with Linux Creator Linus Torvalds
summary
Kernel status note: 4.8 RC3 is a routine release while the 4.9 merge window already contains low level rework; the project grows from ~10,000 lines to 17 million lines and supports roughly 80 architectures. The 10‑week release cadence and thousands of contributors now work reliably, power management is finally stable after years, Bitkeeper’s departure leads to git, and maintainership is a fluid network rather than a fixed org chart.
