Last sentence:

    "Petkov will not be the only one wondering how the change made it in 
without a review by the Linux x86/x86_64 maintainers."


Moles among Linux developers, probably?

In Iran of Shah's time, when an armed anti-government political group 
formed (many of them sprang up in the last ten years of that regime), 
all SAVAK needed to do to destroy such groups was to create a similar 
one in its proximity.

Then, gradually, this bogus group after some harmless scores, made 
attempts to connect with the real one. After a few months or at most a 
year or two, some connections would get established. Then ideas of 
"joining forces to get stronger" would gradually get brought up until at 
last the two groups joined. Then the silent slaughter would take place.

This was also one of the Capone style methods in the 1920s to get rid of 
their competitors.

Mr. Windows, it seems, is practicing it too.
