The 5.16 kernel was released
on January 9, as expected. This development cycle incorporated 14,190
changesets from 1,988 developers; it was thus quite a bit busier than its
predecessor, and fairly typical for recent kernel releases in general. A
new release means that the time has come to have a look at where those
changes came from.
