> I was a bit disappointed that the (otherwise excellent as usual) article doesn't discuss the possibility of automated tests catching buggy changes like this before they are merged anywhere. The kernel is behind current best practices there.

I think the gap in the article hides a much more worrying gap. There's a long and interesting discussion in the middle of the comments about test setups and workflows with not a single link to .... test code. Is there any?
