Uploads of src:linux since 6.15 fulfill this:

Do you think all src:linux maintainers should leave the project and we
should revert to a pre-6.15 kernel (or even earlier)? And what about
other packages? Please don't assume src:linux is the only package with
LLM-generated contributions.

If not, how is that compatible with your message?
