    Torvalds warns

    Is it just me or does that sound exaggerated, clickbaity?

    “It’s worth noting that the upcoming merge window for 6.17 is going to be slightly chaotic for me,” Torvalds explained. “I have multiple family events this August (a wedding and a big birthday), and with said family being spread not only across the US, but in Finland too, I’m spending about half the month traveling.”

    This is relevant to people who are subscribed to the kernel mailing list (where this is probably taken from) anyhow.

      No, warn is, by definition (see 1.c), an accurate term to use.

      Yes, clickbait. It is more like the opposite to me: Linus mitigates chaos before it ensues. Which is an absolute reasonable pro-gamer move in my eyes and speaks of good (time) management.
