I don't think Google changed their position. It seems it's just a PR made by a random person. Their account was created two days ago and they have no other contributions.

>Linux kernel is now compiled with -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks Like many other large C codebases, it also uses -fno-strict-aliasing and -fno-strict-overflow (which is a synonym for "-fwrapv -fwrapv-pointer").

Thanks, I somehow missed that. Since there's no way to select multiple categories in the "suggest" form, I take it you will manually amend the entry.

It seems that blogs can only be assigned to a single category. What about sites that are dedicated to more than one topic? Nonetheless, this is a really cool project!
