PulkoMandy,
Thanking you for another excellent monthly activity report.
The initiative to include a formal code review before it is integrated into the nightly builds is a good one. This should reduce the probability of a lethal issue arising in a nightly build. Hopefully the tool, Gerrit, integrates well with the developers’ workflow and will not prove too onerous on their time.
The kernel appears to have been heavily revisited with respect to integrity and security for data transfers between the user and kernel spaces. It is presumed that this is in response to the triple-threat design flaw related to speculative branch execution. Is this correct?
This looks to have been a very productive month for the developers. It is unclear, however, if any of these revisions reduced the number of blocking issues on the path to the beta release.
