Linux 内存管理维护者“刚刚辞职”了吗?
我偶然看到了一篇写得非常激动的文章,以下是我将要复制的开头部分,以避免给作者更多的关注:
标题:“Linux内存有一个维护者长达26年。他刚刚辞职。接下来怎么办?”
副标题:“一个人掌控着每部Android手机、云服务器和超级计算机的代码长达26年。4月21日,他发布了一条消息,然后沉默了。”
最后一句没有付费墙的内容:“两周后,在萨格勒布的开发者峰会上,内存管理团队试图找出如何替代他,但他们做不到。”
这听起来非常危言耸听,所以我做了一个快速搜索(注意:我并不是Linux内核的专家或爱好者)。我发现的内容似乎相对温和:
安德鲁·莫坦的过渡公告:https://lwn.net/ml/all/20260421094216.8dfe14a8c62f2420fa5aace1@linux-foundation.org/
5月7日的新维护者公告:https://lwn.net/Articles/1070994/
请熟悉此事的人确认我是否正确地将原文视为危言耸听的吸引眼球的内容,还是说确实有值得担忧的原因?

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:<p>Title: "Linux Memory Had One Maintainer for 26 Years. He Just Quit. Now What?"<p>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."<p>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."<p>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:<p>Andrew Mortan's transition announcement: https://lwn.net/ml/all/20260421094216.8dfe14a8c62f2420fa5aace1@linux-foundation.org/<p>May 7 announcement of new maintainer: https://lwn.net/Articles/1070994/<p>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?
