Does this mean they wont be including the linux kernel into Debian releases since Linus is fine with users who used LLM tools to aid their contributions? Trying to imagine which kernel Debian plans to replace it with.
The strongest proposal, A, specifically excludes “upstream projects” from the ban. I get why, there’s not really a feasible kernel for the project to hop to, but it feels theatrical to go to these lengths while accepting kernel patches that are LLM tool assisted.

There’s Debian with GNU Hurd, though not realistically usable on real hardware: https://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/
In the past there was also Debian with FreeBSD kernel: https://wiki.debian.org/Debian_GNU/kFreeBSD
Honestly didn’t know these existed. Thanks for sharing this info 🙂
