FWIW, yes, regression tracking relies on them (for now Link: and the
newly introduced Closes: work; the latter came up totally independent of
regression tracking). And I have no problem with being the bad guy here. :-D

But for completeness, in case anyone cares:

It's Linus that for many years already wants these links. He a while ago
mentioned that in a few posts I bookmarked:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wgs38ZrfPvy=nOwVkVzjpM3VFU1zobP37Fwd_h9iAD5JQ@mail.gmail.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wjxzafG-=J8oT30s7upn4RhBs6TX-uVFZ5rME+L5_DoJA@mail.gmail.com/

But that's nothing new: Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst
explained this usage for many years already (I just made this more
explicit a while a go).

Ciao, Thorsten
