Hi!

Is there any kind of analysis of number of (reported or resolved) bugs
through time in Linux kernel floating around? I'm trying to convince
my colleagues that newer kernel version does not mean more bugs than
the previous 'well tested' ones.

Any kind of (research) reports or papers that address this issue is
more than welcome.

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Bosko
