      It’s paraphrasing Torvalds himself though. It’s a cheeky title.

      “… and I have absolutely no excuses to delay the v6.6 release any more, so here it is,”

        Actually, I think I have misread it. My bad. I’m the one running out of caffeine, it seems.

        I could have sworn he has used this joke before? Like in the past year?

          I don’t actually follow the release schedule of the Linux kernel, but yeah, I was a little confused when I saw the mid-story link where he said roughly the same thing about 6.5 over the summer. That said, if we are going to call out middle aged men for repeating jokes, I’m in trouble.
