It's not. Bugzilla maintenance and its up-to-date status are the issues." https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/10/2/234

• This is a REAL issue (dumping code, not maintaining code): "Again most bug reports sent to LKML are completely neglected, and it's _not_ limited to LKML. Looks like that's what people here are advocating for. "We are not paid to deal with bug reports, so we prefer not to even hear about them". OK, let it be, let's deprecate bugzilla." https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/10/2/233
