That is simply untrue from Linus' kernel point of view.

Each networking merge contains multiple sub-merges from wireless tree
(at random points in networking tree history) which in turn may contain
multiple sub-merges from Johannes (at random points in wireless tree
history) and wireless driver sub-projects so unless you are a hardcore
networking/wireless developer it is practically impossible to make
a sense out of it in a reasonable time.
