Did the Linux memory management maintainer "just quit"?
I came across this breathlessly written article, the beginning of which I will reproduce below, so as to not give its author any more engagement:
Title: "Linux Memory Had One Maintainer for 26 Years. He Just Quit. Now What?"
Subtitle: "One person held the code that runs every Android phone, cloud server, and supercomputer for 26 years. On April 21, he posted one message and then was silent."
Last non-paywalled sentence: "Two weeks later, at a developer summit in Zagreb, the memory management team tried to figure out how to replace him. They couldn’t."
This sounded very alarmist so I did a quick search (note: I'm not a Linux kernel expert or enthusiast by any measure). What I found seemed fairly tame:
Andrew Mortan's transition announcement: https://lwn.net/ml/all/20260421094216.8dfe14a8c62f2420fa5aace1@linux-foundation.org/
May 7 announcement of new maintainer: https://lwn.net/Articles/1070994/
Can someone familiar with the matter confirm that I was right to dismiss the original article as alarmist engagement bait, or is there reason for worry?
