addition to the USB updates and big staging flush merged yesterday for the Linux 6.13 kernel merge window, the “char/misc” pull was also honored for that catch-all of various kernel changes.

    There will always be a controversy, we just don’t see each of it. The recent one you talk is probably about the talk a Rust developer was giving and where the toxic C dev didn’t let him speak. Or is there a more bigger and recent controversy? Nothing happened to it, it happened, people discussed it and now its history. Development continues and its in a good position as it seems.
