Hi,
in this document
Documentation/process/stable-api-nonsense.rst
there is this note:
<insert link to leech comment from Andrew and Linus here>
Is it possible to get it fixed with the proper link? I searched for it without
success. If that comment is impossible to find I will send a patch to remove
that note, but first I wanted to ask you if you know where to get it.

That sounds like a question for Greg (copied). Given that this document
predates the Git era, though, I suspect that whatever reference that was
meant to be is long since lost.

It was referring to an email thread about this topic that happened at
the time I wrote the document. Let me try to dig through my archives,
but given that it was written well over a decade ago, I don't know if I
will be able to find it easily...
thanks,

I can't find it at the moment, so taking out the text in <...> is fine
with me.
