From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Damm
That is quite a while, lol. To be fair though, there are an insane amount of lines in most packages. Quietly adding a brief line in a seemingly innocent features package is like hiding a needle in a haystack.
Its easy to overlook things when you have a pile of packages to review during every routine. Its especially true if they missed it the first time, since its easier to review changes in a package rather than go through the whole thing again.
Why wasn't this catched by previous routine reviews?
