Perhaps one of the more surprising changes in the 6.12-rc4 development
kernel was the removal
of several entries from the kernel’s MAINTAINERS file. The patch
performing the removal was sent (by Greg Kroah-Hartman) only to the
patches@lists.linux.dev mailing list; the change was included in a char-misc drivers

Police use of automated license-plate reader cameras is being challenged in a lawsuit alleging that the cameras enable warrantless surveillance in violation of the Fourth Amendment.
