    IIRC Linus called the latest releases quite big (in size) and I would assume this connects to the number of security fixes that have come about lately.

    He also fixed some bugs using Claude too. So it probably does indeed have increasing AI usage as one component but also increasing submits as the other. The increased submits may still be AI linked (i.e they used AI to find bugs) but not necessarily done with AI. So overall something like (em dashes / a measure of commits) may look more tame than this.
