Our proximity to April 1 makes me wonder, but still...

While there are several quotes in the article from one Ivan Gotyaovich,
I don't see any links to said quotes which leaves me a bit skeptical of
the veracity of the article. However, the link to GitHub looks very
much like a kernel source tree, but I'm not certain that it is an
official repository.

Before anyone takes this too seriously a bit more research needs to be
done as we are very close to the date that an elaborate ruse is
plausible, at least for us in the USA.
