"textContent": "There are a number of ongoing efforts to remove kernel code, mostly from the networking subsystem, as an alternative to dealing with the increase in security-bug reports from large language models. The proposed removals include ISA\nand PCMCIA Ethernet drivers, a pair\nof PCI drivers, the ax25 and amateur\nradio subsystem, the ATM protocols and drivers, and the ISDN\nsubsystem.\n\n> Remove the amateur radio (AX.25, NET/ROM, ROSE) protocol implementation and all associated hamradio device drivers from the kernel tree. This set of protocols has long been a huge bug/syzbot magnet, and since nobody stepped up to help us deal with the influx of the AI-generated bug reports we need to move it out of tree to protect our sanity.",
