@ljs @kernellogger @larsmb @gregkh @pavel Agreed that the dialogue hasn't been great. However...
I don't think they are actually "going nuclear" here. There are 3 volunteers going through all of the stable commits for things that look potentially security-relevant, and they have a vote. It's not like they are literally flagging every single commit. The CVE volume has gone up, clearly, but I think it's justified.
