It's a bugfix, and bugfixes are allowed at and time - weighing regression risk against where we're at in the cycle. It was a very high severity bug, low regression risk for the fix, and we were at rc3.

Do your really want to slip from being difficult to work with to being a liar? Be careful.

I'm afraid you sound like you're trying to gaslight everyone in the thread.

Reading https://lore.kernel.org/all/4xkggoquxqprvphz2hwnir7nnuygeybf...

It is a not a bugfix, and you know it :(

If you are not acting on bad faith, I suggest you read Wittgensen

He has made a lot of work around the idea of language, which basically boil down to the fact that words have no intrinsic meaning : the meaning of a word is the meaning that a given population gives to that word

So in your case, you may be right about the meaning of the word "bugfix" in some population, but you must translate and use the meaning of that word in the "kernel" population

The dictionary is a lie .. :)

		I think you mean Wittgenstein, though I wouldn’t recommend Philosophical Investigations as an entrypoint.
