Posted to the Linux kernel mailing list one month ago were patches for a multi-kernel architecture design to allow multiple independent kernel instances to co-exist on the same single physical machine. This could let some CPU cores be running real-time "RT" kernels or other non-traditional uses between CPU cores. It wasn't clear how far the multi-kernel patches would get especially with some initial negative views toward it and Bytedance separately proposing "Parker" for multi-kernel usage just days later. In any event, today a second version of the multi-kernel Linux patches were posted...

Taps Ruby core to oversee RubyGems, Bundler Ruby Central, the non-profit that recently seized some Ruby open source tools from maintainers, is transferring the repository ownership of RubyGems and Bundler to the Ruby core team.
