Message-ID: <ec5dff37a62681beb74f89f8fcde41b6618152f0.1712812895.git.linux@leemhuis.info> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1712812895.git.linux@leemhuis.info>
Fine-tuning:
* s/Linus' tree/Linux mainline/, as mainline is the term used elsewhere
in the document.
* Provide a better example for the 'delayed backporting' case.
