Linux can only wet dream of such small numbers.
Patches accepted per day   per month (daily x 30)
LTS kernel       6 to 8    180 to 240
normal kernel   10 to 15   300 to 450

Google's 'experimental' Generative AI says "A stable Linux kernel can receive as many as 25 patches per day."
But I have a feeling "Fixes, patches, updates, and changes" are used interchangeably by tech writers and AI models.

Looking at you, DFS.

Then you should see I'm noticeably trimmer.  I lost 12 lbs in the first 7 days of October.  I'll write a longer post about it, to help inspire my fellow fatasses Relf and Bloaty.
