  • Remove use of "rdev" from blockdev/ramdisk.rst and update
    admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt.

    "rdev" is considered antiquated, ancient, archaic, obsolete, deprecated
    {choose any or all}.

    "rdev" was removed from util-linux in 2010:

  • 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.
