It is important to ack previous discussion on this. Also LWN article is up now at [3]. I'm less bothered than you might think by this change. The tag's useful for push back on review, but the only long-term strategy for slop is to aggressively ignore it. Linus has made that clear that that's fine. What kills the project is having 1,000 slop submissions that 2 or 3 people have to do something with. The only long-term solution to that is to hit mark read 1,000 times :) Sasha - maybe worth linking the LWN article now it's up in the commit message and adding a little more detail around the decision? Otherwise LGTM: Acked-by: Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM) -- Cheers, Lorenzo [2]:https://lore.kernel.org/all/20261009083137.3-1-sashal@kernel.org/ [3]:https://lwn.net/Articles/1099594/
