Up to now I've been using `sct 5000` to avoid the horrible blue tinge my laptop's cheap display emits.<br> </div> Sat, 28 May 2016 20:25:04 +0000 Scalability https://lwn.net/Articles/688741/ https://lwn.net/Articles/688741/ corbet Yes, "the writer" is quite sure; there have been no signs of pull requests falling through the cracks. I was worried a bit about the scalability of the process some years ago, and wrote an article to that effect, but I have no such worries at the moment. <p> Remember, 4.6 just barely missed being the busiest cycle ever, and probably only missed it because we seem to need fewer post-merge-window fixes than we used to. This cycle will "only" be 11-12,000 changesets, but that's a far cry from saying that the community is slowing down.
