Linux 内存管理维护者“辞职”了吗?

2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: &quot;Linux Memory Had One Maintainer for 26 Years. He Just Quit. Now What?&quot;<p>Subtitle: &quot;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.&quot;<p>Last non-paywalled sentence: &quot;Two weeks later, at a developer summit in Zagreb, the memory management team tried to figure out how to replace him. They couldn’t.&quot;<p>This sounded very alarmist so I did a quick search (note: I&#x27;m not a Linux kernel expert or enthusiast by any measure). What I found seemed fairly tame:<p>Andrew Mortan&#x27;s transition announcement: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lwn.net&#x2F;ml&#x2F;all&#x2F;20260421094216.8dfe14a8c62f2420fa5aace1@linux-foundation.org&#x2F;<p>May 7 announcement of new maintainer: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lwn.net&#x2F;Articles&#x2F;1070994&#x2F;<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?
