From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If this is primarily fixing old issues, over time we should see a sharp drop off and then even fewer security fixes then before due to fewer being introduced, due to being caught by AI upfront.
On the other hand, if AI is introducing more issues than it is resolving, we’ll see the baseline of security issues being found permanently addressed.
