Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
If not .svg:
For each line:
If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
return 200 OK and serve the same content:
Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

Hi,

apropos "doing this": I've stumbled over ...

https://lkml.org/lkml/2005/7/11/336

... and am wondering:

*What exact timespan do you mean with "at once"?*

Srsly, I mean... just look at the last few patches of mine at the (main) mailing list. I'm going to submit (at least) about 120 (!) more[1] of them. How long shall I wait after each one not to kill your infrastructure and not to be locked out?

Best,
AK
