A comment on The Magical Mystery Merge Or Why we run FreeBSD-current at Netflix (2023) [pdf]. Parent comment
Linux 2.2 is from 1999. It can barely do SMP. That's pretty much a crazy person claim.
Googlers say ProdKernel is merged forward every few years:
> Every two years or so, those patches are rebased onto a newer kernel version, which provides a number of challenges.

> Every ~2 years we rebase all these patches over a ~2 year codebase delta
