    There’s academic exercises for education. The production kernel used by billions around the world is no place to intentionally leave bugs, and it doesn’t matter how they’re detected. What matters is if they are corrected without creating regressions.

      Not really… “Education” and real world are vastly different. Getting accustomed to a mailing list other maintainers etc is not something you learn with your education.

      And leaving bugs for hardware no one has touched in ages is not too big of a deal. And a nice gateway for new comers who actually want to learn it instead of trow a LLM at it.
