They found 1 (one!) commit in git, and report that's it's all over the kernel. Nice journalism.
That's ZDNET!
Checked who the author was, should have guessed... SJVN. He certainly has a flair for taking something relatively small, that a solution already exists for and suggesting something bureaucratic, unnecessary, and completely outside his technical competence. This is one of those things that the kernel devs can, and will solve when it's a real problem. Random journalists and armchair experts can wait till they're called upon.
