His standards for kernel patches and his expectations of maintainers is literally the reason why linux is so ubiquitous now. That type of quality control and attention to detail isn't found anywhere anymore. Linus Torvalds is the perfect analog of the stereotypical 'screamer' partner in biglaw that no one will stand up to because he actually knows his shit and has the respect and admiration of the entire community. See this rant, for example: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/23/75

"i felt sad for mauro reading that."

You should. Mauro is obviously a sad sack of shit who deserves much worse. A kernel patch not breaking user space is a Fundamental Law of software development. It's the fucking Brady of systems programming.

How would you react in the following scenario? You're a DA and one of your ADA's, when confronted with not turning over to the Defense the fact that the bullet pulled from the victim's body at the lab didn't match the Defendant's gun, simply said "Sounds like a Defense problem. Maybe their discovery request should have requested the bullet and lab reports."

By being a dick and publicly humiliating kernel maintainers, he was doing his job of protecting the integrity of the linux kernel. There are very few open source projects that will humiliate developers for submitting shitty patches. The fact that a developer will face public humiliation and blacklisting for submitting shitty code for inclusion in the kernel is motivation to not submit shitty code.

Pretty sure he'll be back

Him "accidentally" booking a family vacation for the same time that kernel devs were planning a summit and those devs moving the summit to where he was vacationing might be peak autism

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/9dtdyd/linus_torvalds_books_the_wrong_flight_and_they/

I think he just wants a bit of time away from things

The adoption of a Code of Conduct in Linux is clearly related to all of this. Most seem to think that if Linux really is intent on a change with this, they should have adopted something a bit less SJW-y

https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/9geb3n/the_linux_kernel_replaces_code_of_conflict_with/

Edit: Linus came right out and said he didn't want to go to the summit:

"One was simply my own reaction to having screwed up my scheduling of the maintainership summit: yes, I was somewhat embarrassed about having screwed up my calendar, but honestly, I was mostly hopeful that I wouldn't have to go to the kernel summit that I have gone to every year for just about the last two decades."
