The analogy has no bite. No one is making huge bucks off marketing specific
email providers to kernel devs. Also, we can't get rid of mentioning
email addresses. You need that information. You don't need to know model
specifics, and it has nothing to do with best practices.

I think you'll be able to find out about wonderful new LLM models also
without the tagline. They are after all shoved down our throats at every
opportunity.

This will I presume be discussed at the maintainer summit, but there
was quite a bit of consensus (iirc) to bring something akin to the current
systemd AI policy to that kernel document. So, emphasizing what the LLM was
put to do, keeping only the short assisted-by tag for quick filtering and as
an alibi to point people towards this document.

Best,
Jori.
