You have to be rage baiting to make an argument this bad.

First, no, it’s not all unsafe, it’s not even 50% unsafe.

Second, even 50% unsafe is an upgrade from 100% unsafe.

The problem is that the R4L project is raising a lot of questions about how interfaces are handled by some Linux maintainers, and there’s definitely a difference in criteria when it comes to soundness bugs.

I fall on the side that just because nobody has stepped on it on years isn’t a good excuse to keep landmines in the code, but clearly a lot of people in the kernel think differently.
