Reminder, Linus sometimes rejects #LinuxKernel pull requests[1] – which is why I distrust #Linux news sites that write stories along the lines of "foo will be in #Kernel version bar" based on merge requests without mentioning that risk.

And why do that at all? There are often just a few hours or a day or two between the pull request and Linus merging it, so why not just wait a bit?

1/ And sure, often…
