Remember this when somebody "promises" you to "evaluate" whether opening a flood gate was a good idea.
»Linux kernel documentation will stop requiring an Assisted-by tag on patches written with help from large language models, following a strong consensus at the 2026 Maintainers Summit that the tag no longer does the job it was kept for. […]
By the 7.3 cycle, only about 10% of non-merge commits carried the tag even though LLM use is far more common. Some contributors never learned the rule, others omit it deliberately, and few maintainers chase missing tags. Absence therefore says nothing about how a patch was made, and for developers who lean on the tools constantly, presence says little more.«
