So let me be very clear: if you as a maintainer feel that you control who or what can use your code, YOU ARE WRONG.

Well, would you look at that, after all forcing things to be discussed and bringing them to the news and social is actually a good thing to get more clear things when there's problems.

I don’t see how that follows. Linus wanted to see how the discussion went on the mailing list. I doubt he wanted nor appreciated the negative media and social media attention.

Not a follower of kernel development, but I agree with Linus. The latest drama is just full of unprofessional toxicity (from both sides).

Linus had said for years that he wants to see Rust in some form in the kernel. You might not like it, but sometimes you just have to disagree and commit.

Good on Linus, that's a very fair answer.
