This goes back to the original file where it read "buried alive in email" in 1996 [1]. It changed to "buried alive in diapers" [2] from 97-99 before this last revision [3].

Files like this just make you realize the massive effort that goes into open source projects like the Linux Kernel. Imagine all the people who work and maintain things like Libreoffice, Docker, FreeBSD's base, etc.

Should probaby link to the exact commit. Otherwise future commits will make the highlighted line number incorrect: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/3c2993b8c6143d8a57937... (you can easily get this canonical URL by pressing 'y' on Github, and you can easily remind yourself of that by pressing '?')

Wow! thanks for this hint. I've always done it via a long process of ~5 clicks.
