I'm just a kernel newbie looking at small issues in my free time, but seeing my name in the shortlog feels very rewarding.
Congrats on being in the former group. When (not if) apes from the latter come to mess you around, tell them to get stuffed.

Why is that probably? What makes it probable?
I hope wireguard improves it’s tooling. It feels a bit crude for me.

Because if you're a competent enough programmer to contribute to the Linux kernel, you're probably competent enough to get a job as a programmer.
While announcing Linux 5.6 is relevant to HN, the particular mailing list message regards differences from a previous release candidate. Can someone please explain, in layperson's terms, what has changed from Linux 5.5 (or 5.4) to 5.6?
https://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges this wiki page currently covers 5.5 but should be updated to 5.6 in the coming days.
Linux 5.6 is getting Wireguard, Linux 5.7 will be getting exfat. It's a great year for the kernel.
