On September 6, 2025, Linus Torvalds, widely recognized as the visionary behind Linux, took to the public arena to voice his displeasure with the improper utilization of the 'Link:' tag in Git commit messages. He highlighted that, in a spate of recent Git commits and patches submitted for the Linux kernel, the 'Link:' tag had been popping up with alarming frequency. Far from offering any meaningful or practical information, this overuse of the tag was, in his view, simply adding to the time burden faced by developers and maintainers.
