    This is why we used to have sub-editors in the Before Times. They would catch and fix shitty titles - and a bunch of other grievous journalistic errors - before publication.

    "Updates to the Linux 7.4 block device subsystem span 40+ years of personal computing, with floppy disk driver fixes as well as cutting-edge Apple M4 NVMe device support. "

    I think so. And I understood the title, because I've been using Linux on and off for the last 30 years, so maybe he's hitting his target market. And a simple kernel release summary is hardly Pulitzer prize stuff, so I'm happy to cut him some slack.

    But I still bemoan the loss of sub-editors in general.

    It doesn't update a range, there's a range of updates
