How does that compare to the growth in size of the overall code base?
The kernel recently surpassed 40 million lines of code, so there’s lots of room to add more fucks and shits.

I quite liked how the original Linux fix for the Spectre-style speculative execution bug on Intel processors was called “Forcefully Unmap Complete Kernel With Interrupt Trampolines”, but alas, in the interest of diplomacy it was renamed to “Kernel Page Table Isolation” (KPTI) rather than “FUCKWIT”.
Doesn’t feel like it was that long ago, but of course, all search results are dogshit in this new age: https://wccftech.com/intel-kernel-memory-leak-bug-speculative-execution-performance-hit/
I never really looked into what they were doing with KPTI.
Assuming it’s accurate, that first one is a much better technical description, even if it was intended to spell FUCKWIT
Meh, crap is barely a swear word is it?
Fuck and shit are the only classic swear words on there and shit really isn’t these days.
Swearing in source code points to a healthy and organic development.
OK make a graph of swear words used by Linus and all others against Linus’s age. I’ve a theory.
