[Note: this mail contains only information for Linux kernel regression

then easy to spot and filter out. The author also tried to remove most
or all individuals from the list of recipients to spare them the hassle.]

#regzbot inconclusive: stop tracking field-spanning write warnings, they
come from a new security feature

Tracking them would cost time I better spend on more important things

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)

P.S.: As the Linux kernel's regression tracker I deal with a lot of
reports and sometimes miss something important when writing mails like
this. If that's the case here, don't hesitate to tell me in a public
reply, it's in everyone's interest to set the public record straight.
