I&#x27;m a total outsider to Linux kernel development, but this plays like a bad telenovela, I would have expected better from what seem to be intelligent people. And to keep it OT: no, it&#x27;s not ok to tell someone &quot;shut the fuck up!&quot;, like Linus Torvalds did, no matter the context. It doesn&#x27;t solve anything, it&#x27;s unprofessional, and it gives a very, very bad vibe. Not sure how come smart people can stand behind this (&quot;To Linus: You&#x27;re a hero to many of us.&quot;)
