Who owns the patch when the model wrote it?
Kernel maintainers and Emacs developers are drawing the same line at once: undisclosed LLM help is not a process detail, it is a trust and philosophy problem.

HAWK break and McEliece caution feed doubts on PQC readiness
A practical key-recovery result on HAWK and a BSI warning against new Classic McEliece deployments crystallize skepticism about several post-quantum candidates just as migration clocks tighten.

Peter Thomassen joins the DNSOP chairs as Ondřej Surý prepares to lead a new Internet Area DNS group under a dual-charter plan.
By ttlLinux skbuff core turns crash BUG_ONs into recoverable warnings
Josef Bacik's net-next work replaces 17 hard panics in packet buffer code with WARN_ON_ONCE and existing error returns, after dozens of real-world crashes including some reachable from user namespaces.

A 20-patch series aims to close a decade-plus gap between the out-of-tree module and the single-peer code still shipped in-tree.

A trimmed v22 series adds VM-type abstractions and non-runnable Realm scaffolding so confidential guests can share common paths with pKVM.

Multi-revision series for exception cleanup landing pads aim to let Rust Drop run on panic, while maintainers push back on verifier complexity and edge cases with tracing.
