summary
Kernel development follows a two-week merge window and then a stabilization period; 4.19 suffers multiple hardware speculative-execution bugs (January, May, August) that force secret fixes and extra churn. Maintainer workflow matters more than code style: expect about 150 pull requests in a busy merge window, a reasonable 48-hour response expectation for patches, and layered maintainer tiers to scale. Concerns remain around low bus factors for a few subsystems and ongoing need for open-source visibility.
