By the time that Linus Torvalds released
the 6.14 kernel, 11,003 non-merge changesets had been pulled into the
mainline, making this one of the smallest releases we have seen in some
time. Indeed, one must go back to the 4.0
release, which happened almost exactly ten years ago, to find a release
with fewer changesets than 6.14. Even so, “small” is relative, and 6.14
contains a lot of significant changes.
