Linux 内存管理维护者“辞职”了吗?
2 分•作者: hliyan•大约 1 个月前
我读到了一篇措辞激动的文章,我将复制其开头部分,以免给作者带来更多关注:
标题:“Linux 内存管理已由一人维护 26 年。他刚刚辞职。现在怎么办?”
副标题:“一个人掌握着运行每部安卓手机、云服务器和超级计算机的代码 26 年。4 月 21 日,他发布了一条消息,然后就沉默了。”
最后一句非付费内容:“两周后,在萨格勒布的一个开发者峰会上,内存管理团队试图找出如何取代他。但他们失败了。”
这听起来非常危言耸听,所以我快速搜索了一下(注:我绝不是 Linux 内核专家或爱好者)。我找到的内容似乎相当温和:
Andrew Mortan 的过渡公告:https://lwn.net/ml/all/20260421094216.8dfe14a8c62f2420fa5aace1@linux-foundation.org/
5 月 7 日新维护者的公告:https://lwn.net/Articles/1070994/
熟悉此事的人能否确认我将原文视为危言耸听的引流文章是正确的,还是确有值得担忧的地方?

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?
