Comments by "" (@retagainez) on "Major Linux Kernel Regression Escapes Arch Testing" video.
@NJ-wb1cz Arguably Arch could test better, but there is also some trust in the kernel, and the breaking code change originated from it. You shouldn't have to test something that is already supposed to be getting tested.

This is what I've been referring when discussing that Linux's release process does not necessarily decrease the impact of bugs. Arguably, it exacerbates it. It's that the overall development process that is flawed; the deployment and review process also somewhat flawed again. It allowed this bug through. I would've loved to see a review of the breaking code changes themselves, not just the patch to fix it. Chalking it up to "things just break" is not even an archaic philosophy, it's just reckless.
