Is it only me? A github link instead of a kernel.org one? Maybe it's just an effort to reduce the HN death hug, and every git repo is an identical clone after all, yet I can't help but think that a link to the kernel tree should point to [0]. Github is (and never was) the only source of truth. It (sort of) became because of us. Replace this with Operaring System, Social Network, default Win 95 browser, any commonly accepted belief.

I guess this would be in line with the Linus' description of GitHub: > I think github does a stellar job at the actual hosting part. I really do. There is no question in my mind that github is one of the absolute best places to host a project. It's fast, it's efficient, it works, and it's available to anybody. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/pull/17#issuecomment-5654674 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/pull/17#issuecomment-56546...
