[$] Reducing patch postings to linux-kernel

The linux-kernel mailing list famously gets an enormous amount of email on a
daily basis; the volume is so high that various email providers try to
rate-limit it, which can lead to huge backlogs on the sending
side and, of course, delayed mail. Part of the reason there is so much
traffic is that nearly every patch gets copied to the mailing list, even
when it may be unnecessary to do so. A proposed change
would start shunting some of that patch email aside and, as might be
guessed, has both supporters and detractors, but the discussion does
highlight some of the
different ways the mailing list is used by kernel developers.

Clonezilla Live 3.1.1 Bumps Kernel to Linux 6.5, Adds Many Disk Cloning Improvements

Clonezilla Live 3.1.1 is here more than six months after Clonezilla Live 3.1.0, and it’s powered by a new kernel, namely Linux 6.5.8, which is a significant upgrade from the Linux 6.1.25 used in the previous release, despite the fact that Linux 6.1 is a long-term supported series.
