[$] Machine learning and stable kernels
There are ways to get fixes into the stable kernel trees, but theyrequire humans to identify which patches should go there. Sasha Levin andJulia Lawall have taken a different approach: use machine learning todistinguish patches that fix bugs from others. That way, all bug-fixpatches could potentially make their way into the stable kernels. Levinand Lawall gave a talk describing their work at the 2018Open Source Summit North America in Vancouver, Canada.
