Description:
Akamai has sent out a
press release saying that it is now hosting the kernel.org
repositories. The Linux kernel is massive  approximately 28 million lines of
	code. Since 2005, more than 13,500 developers from more than 1,300
	different companies have contributed to the Linux
	kernel. Additionally, there are many kernel versions, and
	developers update the code constantly, distributing that code to
	developers who are working on various distributions of
	Linux. Akamai now delivers the infrastructure that these developers
	and their users rely on, at no cost, supporting the Git
	environments developers use to access kernel sources quickly,
	regardless of where they're based.
