Why would they? Linus changes version numbers on a whim, he stated that multiple times. Partly to make it obvious that all kernel releases are equal, partly for no reason at all.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.
Wireguard is probably the part of the kernel I trust _the most_ since it's < 5,000 lines of code and easily audited. I don't think the alphabet boys are involved in this one.
It's one of the most carefully reviewed pieces of cryptographic software on the Internet. You could just use Google, or, if you like, Google Scholar, to verify that for yourself. Please don't write troll comments on HN.
Yes, ultimately as there is no perfect and never break system. But pushing that is pointless as we need to have a safeguard now. What should it be? We can't wait for the God or Godet to come. We need a human solution.
And that might be faulty. Still, 5k lines are better than ...
It was working well before. And the Linux kernel has a history of highly pozzed, insecure RNG's that were given to the community by cryptographic "experts" as well.
