False meme image that says "bad news ipv4 fans. linus torvalds has announced removing ipv4 support from the linux kernel after the maintainers of the network stack got into a fight over WHAT KIND OF HRT gives the best results. this incident will impact 5 billion people and will make 95% of all network equipment on Earth binnable." with fake screenshots of the linux kernel mailing list a girl calling another one a slur from 4chan over HRT choices and Linus Torvalds saying he will drop IPv4 support and asking the maintainers to learn to shut the fuck up.

Linus have stated multiple times that he does not break user space, thus this quiet clearly cannot be real.

    The kernel has never committed to a guarantee that userspace have IPv4 available. Hell, I'm sure that you don't even need to compile it into the kernel.

    goes and runs make menuconfig

    Yeah, CONFIG_INET=n and you'll have no TCP/IP in your kernel.
